Dogfish Dinner

[fish4ever]

I return most of my fish as many people on here have also said they do. Where I fish there seems to be no end of doggies though, so I take the odd one for my cat's. A couple of times I have considered cooking one up for myself has anyone tried it themself? If you have a good recipe let us know cheers. Please no conservation on this one as although it is also a concern to me it would be nice to have one post without it .

Apparently if you cut the belly into strips, soak in milk and then deep fry, it tastes like scampi. I've never done it but I have eaten dogfish and it isn't bad. Fish shops sell it as rock eel or rock salmon.

Rock Salmon is edible, just. Best idea is to cook in a nice sauce to flavour it, and make a fish pie.

Cut whole fillets and then slice them into inch wide strips. Dip in egg and breadcrumb then deep fry till golden. They are like scampi. Personally I love them dipped in a sweet thai chilli sauce and served with a rocket salad.

There's loads of ways to cook huss, dutch eel, rock salmon, call it what you like, it's about £3 a pound round here so it's not cheap. Slice into thin pieces, like cucumber and coat in seasoned flour then deep or shallow fry until brown, or to use in fish pie or fish cakes cook in micro wave until the flesh comes off the 1 bone or gristle, then mix with mashed potatoes, you can add some mackerel, salmon or smoked haddock for effect, it's all a matter of taste. It is delicious and I know lots of anglers who target a few doggies to take home to eat, in fact one guy I fish with would take all the doggies caught if you'd let him.

Bring a pan of water to the boil, add 2 x 9inch nails and your dogfish. Boil for 5 minutes, throw the fish away and eat the nails. Seriously mate if your cats like the odd one fair enough but personally I'd go to the chippy and get a cod or better a haddock.

It is a great delicacy in Cadiz Andalucia, Ive tried it and it is excellent try the following recipe:

 

Cazon en Adobo

750g dogfish, cut into 4 cm cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon water

garlic finely minced

paprika

oregano

flour for dusting

oil for frying

 

Place the cubed fish into a non metalic bowl. Mix together the oil, vinegar, water, garlic, paprika, oregano and a little salt and pepper, and pour over the fish. Mix well to coat and leave in the fridge overnight (minimum 6 hours) to marinate. When ready to cook, drain well, coat with flour and fry in batches until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper to blot excess oil and serve hot. Makes approximately 45 pieces.

Is that the same area they eat 2" long sole and basically anything else that swims ? I had a seafood plata at Mojaca last year, it had bullheads, mini sole and baby octopus etc. Notice they add strong tasting ingredients like garlic, paprika, other herbs n spices, I wonder why ???????

[Toerag]

They could be sand sole? An 8oz sand sole is a monster.
