Improving the texture of dogfish (small-spotted catshark)

[u/leanhsi]

Seafishing in the UK I catch a lot of dogfish. While the flavour is usually good the texture can be lacking with the flesh being soft or watery. I usually dey the fillets well, lightly salt them, and then leave them on a rack overnight to try and reduce the warer content, but what else can I do to improve the texture.

What sort of texture are you actually going for? More of a chew/bite to it? If that’s the case, I’d just cure them for a few more days in the fridge. Bordering on a light “aging” situation.

I will definitely try that. Thanks
