7/11/2011 7:53:00 PMThat picture looks a bit like a first time autopsy gone a muck! Someone came prepared with a cordless drill and 3/4" spay bit, that is one craneum crater........WHOA! I seriously hope you got help cleaning up the boat. Kinda nice to see the unedited version. How did the motor run? And more importantly, how did you find enough room on the crab buoy's for yet another WaLakes name, address and phone #. Way to go moe (gettin after the crag that is).

7/12/2011 9:48:00 AMQuad, after the question arose on another forum of how to prepare dogfish I too googled the video to see how to clean them. He did it correctly, remove the fins tail and head and then skin it. All he has left to do is the skinning, you are just left with a long noodle-like piece of meat. Tons of people eat them over in Europe, etc. as fish-n-chips. I am not ready to go to eating dogfish yet myself though, lol!

7/12/2011 11:47:00 AMI came here to provide update as I am the unnamed fishing partner. Yes, I am.
Fried up some of Mr. Dogfish last night. I thoroughly screwed up how I was trying to cook it (tried to batter, long story, didn't work...) and ended up just frying the thing in a pan. It also didn't help that I left it in big roundish chunks when trying to cook it. Anyhow...
Bottom line, it came out pretty good. Would chow down again, and will in fact as there's about half left. I think the key was almost immediately thoroughly cleaning that guy. I took my knife to that sucker probably within five minutes of it being in the boat and thanks to Youtube learning had it as the pic shows in about another five minutes.
Side note: that big hole in dogfish cranium is from my knife instead of a gun. No weapons were fired in the slaying of that beastie.
