Wonderful catch! I haven't seen anyone mention it but some things to keep in mind; 1. Dogfish are incredibly long-lived and slow-growing. A good-sized one like that is probably 10-20+ years old. What's important about that is they've had a lot of time to build up toxins and pollutants in their bodies and being high on the food chain already puts their contaminants higher. All that to say retaining smaller ones is the healthier choice if you plan on regularly catching & eating dogfish, ~18-24" is a good eating size. 2. Their gestation period is 18 to 24 months. Larger females are best released as the odds of her being pregnant are high. Dogfish isn't a popular fishery in Washington unrightfully so. They're a wonderful fish to retain even if they're not the target species. Falling under the bottom fish category with a daily limit of 15 in 2023 in Puget Sound you can really make a day of it.
Maybe replace a good amount of flour with cornstarch and cut the pieces into narrower fingers. It'll give you better overall texture when you have mushy fish. I'll have to try dogfish too. Great video!
Thanks. The recipe wasn't the best but I couldn't find the one I have been using lately. The batter should be really crispy. I will try the narrower finger technique with a different recipe on the fillets I have in buttermilk.
I will do it tomorrow. I am just going to cover the livers with water and put it on a simmer for a while until all the water is gone and you strain it. I am not sure how much I will get from the livers. It is really good for boosting immunity, fertility and there are some anti-cancer properties. Look up shark liver oil and specifically squaline which dofish have a lot of. They also use the oil in cosmetics for their skin hydration and anti aging but I probably wont use it for that. I will just take it daily and maybe have some kids. 😂
15 ought hook. Thats a big hook. You caught alot of dogfish, mostly big! I can hear that sandpaper skin. Haha you got a cutting board 👍🏻 I dont think I will eat shark, but its better with beer 😂 Wife is camera person again 👍🏻 Good job, Peeling Line❗️
Hey I’m here in bothell, I’ve never tried saltwater fishing but this makes me want to try. Do you think a Dobyns sierra medium heavy 734c would be sturdy enough for these beasts?
Yeah I have caught them on medium light rods. The main thing is to have a strong enough leader so their teeth don't break you off. 50# mono or flouro and you'll be good. You could use steel too they aren't line shy.
They are literally everywhere. I have never fished near there so I can't help with locations. Most salmon fishermen should be able to help you. I'd look for muddy bottoms and bays.
I take the skin off as I’m bleeding and gutting them right on the boat.You can use a pair of pliers and peel it right off just like you would a snake… Also overcooking it and smaller pieces help firm up the texture… Great vid! Not a lot of other info available of them online.
Thanks. Good to know. I have only tried rattle snake at a restaurant but never done a snake myself. I have a better recipe and rendering the shark liver oil video coming up.
Haha. I have to eat the rest at least. Also if I want more shark livers I will have to eat them. Although I could use them for bait too. I have done that before.
Nice video! No lack of dogfish action, even if you didn't get your target species. Enjoyed the cooking segment as well. I enjoy fish, but don't have it that often. I LOVE fried fish, but living a keto lifestyle makes that a no-no for me (I wonder if I could use almond flour?!?). Broiled or sauteed fish without batter can still be pretty tasty...
Thank-you. Almond flour would probably work. Lots of keto friendly ways to enjoy fish. Hell there's even keto bread so why not keto breadcrumbs? I wish I could maintain a keto lifestyle. Beer and desserts always break me out though.
Those sharks look funny haha, that batter looks delicious too bad the fish didn't got the expectations haha, he shew that leader pretty good eh? Is like a pike
@Peeling Line Do you know if they are caught out their in the spring time? I usually fish more north for them around Cama Beach. But that's usually in the summer
With all of the great fish in Puget Sound why on Earth would one by happy to catch the scavenger of the sea? As kids the Dogfish were something we'd cut the line and throw it back in

Thank-you. Going with point 1 and the 15 limit if people did that they could really devastate the population.
@@PeelingLineOh absolutely 😂 We'd see some new regulations pretty quick if they were actively sought after.

Looked like a fun day on the water. Looks like a really interesting fish to eat that is for sure. Meat looked pretty legit tbh.
Did you render the liver for its oil? If you did, what do you do with it?
I will do it tomorrow. I am just going to cover the livers with water and put it on a simmer for a while until all the water is gone and you strain it.

Those are pretty big dogfish!!! Never seen one that big!!!! Looks very delicious !!! Great video Brett 👍👍
Thank-you. I have caught some bigger ones but they top out at 5 feet.

Thanks I tried making the shark liver oil video but the wife thought she was recording on my phone but wasn't. 🤦♂️
I have heard about a lot of people catching dogfish on the coast, but haven't seen anyone eating them. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder why the skin on the dogfish is like sandpaper. Interesting! Good video!
Thanks. So it can swim faster.
They are called denticals and are actually teeth.
Great video awesome catch and cook! Butter milk should help with the fishy taste like you said! Great video brother 🤙
We call it Rock Salmon in England. Or " Rock and chips" when getting it from the chippy 😁
That's interesting. Rock salmon sounds more appetizing than dog salmon. Dog salmon (chum) are the only fish I won't eat fresh. Smoked they're okay.

Love it. Going to try to catch my first one tomorrow
Thank-you. Good luck.
Nice catches out there. Kitchen in the new house looks great! Dogfish don't taste to bad, I ate a couple in my college days. Tight lines!
Thanks. I'll have to do an inside cooking video. My wife doesn't like me frying fish inside though.
Great fun catching those Dogfish, and they sure make a delicious looking meal.
They really are a lot of fun.
Those are some nice sharks bro. What did you end up doing with the liver?
Thanks. Nothing yet will deal with them this weekend.
He had it with a nice glass of Chianti.
I wanna know where ro find them. Thats close to me. Up here in bham

Cool, I was interested in what you were planning on doing with liver… I’ll watch for it!
Those dogfish are wild lookin!! Awesome video too!
Thanks 👍
LOL the look on your face when you ate the first bite. It looked really good though. Definitely try with buttermilk and get all the red out.
For sure I will. Glad you enjoyed my face😂
Sounds like you won't be having it again. The cod and halibut Sounds much better. It looked beautiful though. A mother in law fish i suppose LOL.
Haha. I have to eat the rest at least. Also if I want more shark livers I will have to eat them. Although I could use them for bait too. I have done that before.
Man I’ve been trying to catch one for a bit and can’t seem to find em in the skagit area
I've never fished there so I can't be much help. They are all over the place. Keep trying different places and at night.
so nice Dogfish, I will try to a fish meat ball meal, I have heard it is great tasty dish ....

Also you should skin them as well when you catch them.
Good to know. I'll probably do that this year. Then I can just take the fillets home and not worry about stinking up my garbage can.
I need a video on how to avoid dogfish... hahahaha!
Avoid dogfish by not fishing. 😂
Looked like a nice amount of meat on those filets. Probably hard to compare fried shark to some of the fish species you catch out there.
It is a very different meat from anything else I have ever cooked up.
wow, that's pretty cool. never caught nor ate dogfish before. would love to try it some day. but based on your review, probably not my kind of taste.
Sound is very low and can barley hear what you are saying.
I'm doing this new thing. Have you heard of mumble rappers, well get this mumble youtubers. I got a mic and will try use it.
@@PeelingLine ok 👍 😆
So which is better? Brown Bullhead of Dogfish..😳
I liked the bullhead better but that may because of all that butter.
@@PeelingLine Maybe the Buttermilk Dogfish will be better.
@@dansSawfish5604 Hopefully
Those sharks look funny haha, that batter looks delicious too bad the fish didn't got the expectations haha, he shew that leader pretty good eh? Is like a pike
Sharks are the happiest looking fish. He did shred the leader but it had been wearing down from the sharks before him.
South sound?
No liberty bay.
@Peeling Line
Do you know if they are caught out their in the spring time? I usually fish more north for them around Cama Beach. But that's usually in the summer
With all of the great fish in Puget Sound why on Earth would one by happy to catch the scavenger of the sea? As kids the Dogfish were something we'd cut the line and throw it back in
Because wdfw wont let you catch most of them. Look up the health benefits of shark liver oil, specifically squalene (which dogfish are loaded with).
That’s not a dog fish
What is it?
