THE BELOVED DOGFISH

[WAHOONBOX]

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THIS SIDE OF THE MEDITERRAEAN...STRETCHING AS FAR NORTH AS GREENLAND...AND AS FAR SOUTH AS "DEEP C"..........THAT WILL LAY CLAIM TO DOGFISH AS THEIR FAVORITE FORM OF FISHING............

PERSONALLY........THOSE WHITE MEAT BACKSTRAPS ARE A FAVORITE OF MINE WHEN DEEP-FRYED.......COCONUT BEER BATTERED STYLE

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY DOGFISH STORIES PHOTOS .....LYNCHINGS......ETC

[Sea Draggin]

I supposed to start makeral fishing next weekend for the fall. If you want dogfish I will get you dogfish. Big ones, small ones and in between.

[Lil' Tunny]

There are times when they're a real pita. Are they good? I'll try anything once, what should I do with 'em??

[Squidnation]

Get the backstrap fillet and cut them into nuggets or strips, bread and fry. UMMMM UMMMM - so good make you wanna slap your mama. I never thought they would be good. But as a starving college student i had choice between buying groceries or buying bait and beer. I chose the latter and ended up eating many a dogfish.

[WAHOONBOX]

THE BACK STRAP IS ABSOLUTELY DELIOUS WHEN BATTERED AND FRIED......VERY WHITE CHUNKS........LIKE ARK SAID, I NUGGET THEM.....


CONDENSED SWEET MILK PLUS ONE EGG...3 SPOONS OF MILK

SEAFOOD BREADING

ADD OLD BAY TO BREADING.......PLENTY

TIP: ONCE YOU HAVE BATHED THE NUGGETS IN THE LIQUID ROLL THE [COLOR=DarkRed]NUGGET OVER CRUSHED COCONUT FLAKES........THEN COOK ONE NUGGET AS A TEST RUN.....ADJUST HEAT AS NEEDED.............TOO MUCH HEAT WILL BLACKEN THE COCONUT QUICKLY

SAUCE...........2 PART ORANGE MARMELADE

I PART DEJOIN MUSTARD

1 PART HORSERADISH (AS MUCH AS YOU DESIRE)

THEN NUKE IT FOR 20 SECONDS

NOW REMEMBER THIS MEAT MUST BE CARED FOR IMMEDIATELY WHEN CAUGHT ...PLENTY OF ICE AS USUSAL

My name is fishmail and here be me story...
Thar we were bravin the North Atlantic. Nor-Souer blowin from the E-West. Twas squirrly at best. A thousand degrees hotter than hell at that latitute melted our oilskins right offin us. Larger ships of steel aimed at our scuppers and protecting their turf. Skip the Georges Banks or Flemish Cap! Pansy covered pastures compared to the mighty Two Mile Bend!
Me and my boatswain mate, No Beard, readied the gear. Had to watch what we was doin. Size 2 hook go clear though the tip of a finger and cary ye to Dave Jones locker if ye aren't careful. Or can give you a nasty poke and make you say "ow".
We posistioned our Intruder on the bend where we figured the most damage could be made. Intruder was a grand old scow with her crows nest pushin up through the clouds. The ol girl was a tried and tru shark raisn machine and bore the the scars to prove it.
We lowered the workin gear and drew a mighty bite. Coil after coil, fathom after fathom of our finest line raced off the deck. Finally we got a wrap on the sampson post. Me matey leaned into the beast. We wasn't sure if our muscles would hold or worsen yet if the transom would be torn from the stringers Arghh.
The sun raced across the sky as the battle ensued. Then I could see the fearsome beast just a shimmerin beneath the surface. I readied the lance and prepared the poons but on Intruder we is manly mens and decided to wrestle the beastie over yon gunwales and onto the deck of death. Then all was quiet. Sweat and blood poured from the scuppers. Silent in our victory . Silent was he in defeat. I yelled that all was clear. I had No Beard fetch me his quills and marlin spike so I could scrimshaw me a memory of the epic bugger. To that day I raise a toast. To Doggie Dick the great white smoothhound! That scrimshaw for generations to come shall remain here etched in the Cuttle bone of a dreaded Dell squidly for the seafarin mens and wimins to ponder before their next trip over the horizon...

As you can read by the colorful story- DEEP C is back in good spirits again

[basshole]

dont know if this is tru or not but i heard they urinate through their skin so the meat can be poisioness or maby just taste like piss. u know if this is tru box??

[Deep C]

Most sharks pass excess nitrogen through their skin. Enough concentration can make you queasy. Thats why careful proper handling of the meat to avoid release of chemicals that turn nitrogen into ammonia is important. Mako is one of the few species that actually has a urinary tract to discharge the (piss)...

In other words: Cut em, ice em, dice em and do em quick...

[SeaPro238]

I wouldnt say they are beloved, but they are tasty little bastages when cooked right.
