Dogfish Shark

B tier

Dogfish shark under the Shark parent points to spiny dogfish and related small sharks sold as rock salmon, flake, or fish-and-chip shop fish in Britain and elsewhere. Flesh is sweet, firm, and holds batter well; spines and handling need care. Fry in batter, stew, or smoke. Stocks have cycled between abundance and depletion—check current advice. This is the approachable “shark” of working-class fryers more than oceanic trophy species.
