Eating Doggies

[lodore]

Has anyone ever tried eating dogfish? I've always been curious to know what it's like, but never wanted to chance it myself.

A commercial fisherman once told me it tastes like crab when you boil it, but reckon he might have been taking the mick.

Any thoughts?

ya ive had it they call it rock salmon in the chip shops in england its very nice its nothing like crab and the best way to eat it is to bake it or batter it the skin is tough to remove before cooking but i have a good way to remove it cut the end of the tail off just before it turns up then pour boiling water just on the end were you cut no were else and it will curl up grab it quick and start pulling and it should come off easy hope this help any questions give me a pm

I've tried it, wasnt a huge fan, thought it was pretty bland!

[twinkle]

when you have removed the skin cut the fish up in to small gojons dip in a nice thick batter and deep fry for a bout 7 mins
should be golden brown remove and serve with a wedge of lemon its very tasty also very nice in a seafood stirfry

[daminim]

plus the fact that they dont look like the most appetising fish in the world!!!

[lodore]

Thanks for all the replies and comments lads. Between Hugh Fernley-whatever-his-name-is cooking gurnards and pouting and the recession, the doggies are starting to look appetising.

Thanks for that Jimmy. I'll have at it and give you a shout if I get stuck. I remember a certain major hotel in Cobh used to buy congers as 'rock salmon' back in the day.

Sounds tasty Twinkle; reckon this might be the first recipe.

Knew a guy who used to swear by ray. He made me try it once –– it tasted like a used soap cake from a pub urinal. Talkes all sorts I suppose ....

doggies are the best on the bbq with salt and pepper sticky goodness
just in preparing them you need the usual kitchen tools
1 hammer
1 tongs/ vice grips
1 nail
a sharp knife
piece of timber
cut the belly and fin s off
hammer nail through head and timber (do not hammer on work top especially if its granite )
make a slice at back of head cutiing skin get tongs grip skin and pull like a fecker it should come off in one go like a sock if the doggie is obligeing
chop head off

You know those signs that say 'Caution –– Wet Floor'? They're not just for decoration, you know

This is really useful––though when I saw references to vice grips and a hammer I though it was joke at first!
