OOOHHH Fine British cuisine. Their idea of surf and turf is spiney dogfish and boiled beef.

I've got gas and I've got crabs. You wanna go out?

I've had fish and chips in England in the 1990's it was pretty good!!! But my favorite was beef marrow over toast.

Conrad, you're just happy to learn that there is a species that you can actually catch that is edible.

I've got gas and I've got crabs. You wanna go out?

Mark, I don't think that photo is a Spiney Dogfish.

I suspect that is a Smooth Dogfish - Mustelus canis
The Spiny Dogfish Shark - Squalus acanthias is a little different.

There are subtle (but really important) differences. "Sand Sharks" like in the photo do not have those subtle spots along the back or that NASTY spike near the tail that can give you a bad punture wound when held causually.

Last time I fished the Cape, there were Spiney Dogfish from the top of the water columm all the way to the bottom, for acres.

There isn't a reasonable fisherman alive that thinks these fish are in peril.

In fact, the opposite is clearly true. They are invading the Northeast in #'s not seen before.


Perhaps NOAA did a troll one day and the fish weren't there, but a mile in another direction. The troll yielded few fish = FISH IN PERIL !!!
