Andy135 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Got to love it when a plan comes together 👍 I particularly admire the fact that you set out to target dogfish with the sliders! A man after my own heart 🤣👍 #dogfishloversunite! alan stevens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s normally a cry of joy when you catch one to save a blank again. #justclearingthisupsotosaveconfusionofothers Andy135 and alan stevens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the trick to eating them? I tried them once and found them a bit mushy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan stevens Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 skin them, shallow fry the meat in seasoned flour and serve with plenty of chips. Soft flesh I grant you but lovely taste Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think the Essex chip shops call it Rock Salmon, or they used to when I lived there. Geoff. alan stevens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jon, I have heard it called rock eel, but as you said any of the dogs were included, but rock Salmon was the term most ued in the Southend area in the 50's and 60's.

Geoff Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I am sure they are the same thing, but any dogfish. The names were used because it was thought dog and chips did not sound too appetizing. Geoff.☺️ alan stevens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
