- For any one who is worried. We have not been out fishing during the lockdown. This fish was caught during a session before the restrictions were enforced. Here is the whole video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqx4p9ukl7y9onk.html

Beautiful place John. That stir fry looked really good to. You guys are so lucky to have such a wonderful life.

Love your channel man. You're my kind of fisherman. You love to catch fish of any sort, you do it from a small boat, you don't mind bottom fishing, you do it under all conditions, you eat what you catch (often). Keep our families fed, you know? From the US of A. Props.

Hello John and mrs fishlocker, a master class in preparing fish, never seen dog fish skinned and cooked, brilliant, see them in a new light now, thanks again great vid.👍

Such an underrated, sustainable fish and so great to finally see them getting some recognition. Boneless, good flavour and versatile to cook, great video showing just that. 👍🏽

When I was a kid, Rock and chips was our friday night dinner, Our pet dog loved the bone from them, It was his treat for the week as well... In those days, Nan (god bless her ) used to go to the fish market ( Remember them ? ) to get a couple of Plaice for her dinner and a pound of Pollock for the cats !!. Pollock in them days (60s/70s) was considered as not worth eating.....

Her laughing when you tried to skinning it made this video lol

As always Fresh from the sea and delicious!!!

I heard the giggle from your wife while you were skinning it. Two more delicious looking dishes as well. Hard to come by fresh fish where I am but I'm itching to try these!

Mrs Fishlocker truly is the queen of simple yet delicious meals! Love watching the both of you work together to create something lovely. Hope you’re all doing well 💓

HOW did I miss this one!? You brought back memories for me. Dad was given half a dozen dog fish one day. He knew they needed skinning but no advice on how was given. The end result was nailing it through the head to the upright of the shed door and vigorous pulling with pliers and whatever else could be found! Mum wrote an account of it what as published in the Farmers Weekly, along with the cartoon of it that my eldest brother drew - a bit like the kids book about the Great Big Giant Turnip. We did get the fish skinned and we all ate well - a truly enjoyable meal and sadly often overlooked by those who don't realise just how good it is! A bit of Rock and Chips - yes please! Love to Hannah - she did a great job there! xxx

The only fishing videos I watch on YT. No mucking about, warts and all plus the mistakes, bad days, good days. Especially enjoy the young fellas enthusiasm when he get's a fish on. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Cairns Australia.

Us folk in Essex call them rock eel ,great video again how I would love to live in Cornwall ,keep up the great videos.

I always wondered about how rock salmon was prepared, thanks for a good demonstration. I love the recipes, Mrs Fish Locker always makes simple look delicious.

10 weeks ago I broke my arm..,....then came a lockdown.....thank you and your family for keeping me sane! Vids like yours remind me of what I love and teach me how to enjoy it even more. Respect. PS I feel a little bit sorry for the next doggy I catch!

Always happy to take a doggie, even though people complain about catching them. Good to eat, they do have a slightly prawny texture! I slip a loop of paracord around the head and tie it to a kitchen cupboard door handle to make the skinning easier and avoid nasty surprises with pliers slipping and me flinging the fish across the room! Haha. Thanks for the vids, as always.

Nice one John, alway's wanted to try it, well done Mrs Locker. Davey.

Really look forward to every video. You have a great, open style and I’ve learnt a huge amount from watching you. I like the fact there is no bad language and it’s suitable for me to watch with my son. Your videos are a refreshing change from the usual egos on KZfaq and hugely engaging. Keep up the great work and best wishes to your family and your incredible son.

Hi John hope you and the family are well. Thank you for sharing your foraging with us. !!!

Finally I found perfect recipe ! ! ! Thanks for the video Mr. & Mrs. Fish Locker and be safe during quarantine .

You should make a video where you explain all of the different shells and what not on the shoreline. You mention them alot in your coastal foraging videos , but it would be so cool to have a compilation video. Thanks for great content. Hope you and your family are safe, super job!

Thank you to you and your missus for this. Its a fish I would always throw back. I might just keep the next one 🐟😁

There it is. Nicely done!

Wow, I didn't know you could eat dogfish. Thanks for sharing this video!

Another great video John! Made my day! good, clean filleting and fantastic cooking technique. Stay safe buddy.

Thanks for sharing Mr Locker , I remember my first introduction to eating fish was with this humble beast, I think my father thought I wouldn’t be put off because of the no bones thing . Certainly a much underestimated eating fish and so versatile as mrs locker showed. I guess most folk are put off by the skinning hassle and must admit I invented many new swear word through frustration in my early attempts🤬 and one time I remember getting slapped full in the face with the pliers and sandpaper skin 😲 ... to be honest 🤔 not much has changed 😉 keep well, stay safe

Very tasty looking dishes john and your way of filleting beats hanging the dog fish on a nail on the outside loo door, thank you and and your good lady for a super video.

Nicely done! And the mix of pasta, salad greens and the fish is my kind of cooking, too. I converted my dinner partner from a different plate for salad and pasta to a one plate woman. As recently as last evening’s meal.

Looks delicious! Great chef for sure John!

Very apt name The Fish Locker means we are all in lockdown John, nice one and thank you:-) :-)

Hi John thanks for excellent vid and to your good lady for cooking demo. My wife’s favourite is dogfish. Another way to remove skin is to pour boiling water over skin, then you can scrape skin off really easily with a knife. It does slightly cooked the fish doing it this way.

Wonderful, a nice sweet chilli dip would go very well with those breaded goujons, have a nice weekend 👍

I'm really enjoying these prep and cook videos. I can't watch the beginning where the fish is skinned (I've tried, can't do it) but I like that it's there all the same, and I'm really enjoying the cooking part of the video!

Once again another great video John, about 2 days ago I seen a video thumbnail of various seashells and said happy days a new video from the fish locker, KZfaq had recommended a video from a different channel for me, I said I ain't got time for that haha. Keep'em coming and again hope all the family are safe, much respect.

Good stuff! Nothing goes to waste..... gotta love it.

Thnx John....I love dogfish...can’t beat rock and chips .....you Hannah and the kids stay safe mate....Bob (IOW)

The sea looks amazing!

Brilliant as always John ..and Hannah .. I find the lesser spotted dogfish a great food to eat .. I love cooking the dogfish in chunks and then stir it in with mash potatoe and parsley .. Then egg wash , breadcrumb and fry .. amazing fish cakes 👌🏻

while you were skinning the dogfish i love how the newspaper just says "are you sitting comfortably?"

Both dishes looked delicious, you're a lucky man John. Keep safe all 👍

That first dish with the noodles looked great. I might have to try that one sometime when I pick up a dogfish.

We used to nail the fish to a post then skin it.

Thanks for posting this video I just cooked the breaded dogfish exactly as you cooked it ....yummy.

Man, that made me super hungry!! I love the catch and cook videos!! Thank you both so much.

"Rock Salmon"... HAH! How posh! :-)

i was taught when i was young nail on fence then pull skin off

Looks fantastic I will have to give the stir fry recipe a go as breaded fish is my goto whiting recipe. I normally cut dog fish in to stakes and jelly them like jellied eels. It works really well as the bone is not as sharp as an eels bone is however you do have to add more gelatin.

Very nicely done and you did good too, John! We get a lot of Spiny dogfish in the winter and Spring off the Eastern seaboard of the United States. I enjoy them. Skinning, just take off the fillet on both sides and then lay skin side down and skin from tail up with a knife under the meat like a regular fish Soak in milk overnight to draw out the Urea and then cook. Make Shark Nuggets with them, sometimes. Cut in chunks, toss in seasoned coating and then bake in the oven. Children enjoy them that way. Take care, great video.

Interesting . I made a Dogfish (might have been a Huss) 'curry' when I was a young man - didn't go well. Didn't go well at all! Put me off. This looks way more promising, - the 'breaded fish fillet' looks especially good. I'm pretty much entirely lure fishing these days (chance would be a fine thing!), so I'm not exactly expecting to catch dogs, but always good to know what to do. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I was wondering when you will be eating one. You always let them go when you catch them.

Didn't think anyone ate those.... looked really good and easy will have to try now thanks. You guys keep up the great work I love learning about what you can and cant eat. Cheers

Love to watch your catch & cook video's, always make my mouth water, thanks.

This is probably going a little out of your purview, but I heard that in Medieval times people used shark skin exactly like how we might use sandpaper today. Do you think they might have done the same thing with dogfish skin? If so, about how long do you guess it would stay good/unrotted for? Interesting video as always. I've got to try that stir fry!

Hello

Now that's a fish i love, greetings to everbody at fish locker,having a wonderful time in the Yucatan jungle, no covid 19 here, eating lots of delicious,well, I'm pretty sure they are catfish, i won't want to go back to civilization

Envious, but glad that you two are both situated to where you can forage the coast, and have the knowledge to do so. Enjoyable!

We call people like that “snowflakes “. I guess it’s like sausage, you like the product ,you just don’t want to see how it is made.

It's nice. To see the cooking of fish made easy well done I will look for more.

Looks scrumptious!

Lovely job. *Ken Hom would be proud of that stir-fry!! 🈴 ☺️👍

They have such beautiful eyes. Each time I accidentally catch one and try to take the hook out of their mouth these enchanting creatures wince and close their eyes in pain. I feel them and question everything

Nice to see your daughter helping out with the 🍳👩‍🍳

I love watching the catch and cook videos before I start cooking. Makes me so hungry :)

Ah this is the one I've been waiting for 😊 my friend dropped some fresh Huss into me a couple of weeks ago , it was caught the same day from a boat in Littlehampton . It's been in the freezer and I will now defrost and bread it to fry . Fantastic 💚 I do so look forward to your videos , thankyou 🐟🐙 and stay safe all of you 💖

Fantastic video, lovely meals well cooked, skining doggys is always a bugger. Many thanks for posting. Kind regards Mike. Norfolk..

Wow, skinning a dogfish looks similar to a catfish. The skin of the dogfish looks like it’s held to the body much tighter. Nice job!

cant wait to try this just found this video thanks 🎣

Hi Mr and Mrs Fishlock down nice cooking and not bad skinning ; stay safe stay well hope the boy is doing well.

This is turning into a great reference series, preparing different fish then different ways to serve it. I hope if I ever get back to the coast, I can put them to use. Thank you for continuing to entertain us during the lockdown and you and your family stay safe.

Thanks Mr Fishlocker, Just skinned and cooked a dogfish for the first time. Well done on cooking a less known table species. Would love to see you catch and cook a conger. A highly underrated table fish in my opinion.

24 dog fish I caught off ryde pier a month ago, and put them all back, cus I didn’t know how skin or cook them. Bloody do now, great video, haven’t caught any since. Definitely keeping a couple next time. Thanks Alan 👍🎣

all i need about now are some doggies rock salmon was a regular dish at my nans in whitley bay when i was a nipper. straight out the fish shop in south shields done the same way as the breadcrumb coated Hannah made chips peas and bread and butter and tea in a china cup happy days .thanks John and Hannah have a great weekend

Thanks for the reply. If you ever find yourselves in Anglesey, try Fedw fawr north of Beaumaris. Beautiful spot and heaving with doggies. I caught 11 in an hour! One of my best sessions ever. Just fast furious fun - black lug did the trick. Cheers and good health to you all.

Hannah thanks for the recipe that really looks fresh and yummy. I like dishes that look fresh and also.

Hi John and Hannah, we used to love Rock Salmon from the chippy in Warminster where we were brought up. Really tasty and as long as it was not over cooked it was great. It was always served with the backbone left in!! Must try it in stir-fry and that would be great to try. Love dog fish, very underrated . Take care guys, be safe and look after junior fish locker!! Graham❤️

I LOVE Flake and Chips, on the rare occasion I can find it nowadays! Always disturbs me when you see so many dogs thrown in commercial harbours.

looks very tasty i was surprised to see you skin the dogfish just like i have done with bullhead catfish and burbot

As a kid dogfish was the only fish I would eat. I still love it till this day. Thanks for the stir fry idea can't wait till I try it. Hopefully we can all get our rods out soon till then you and your family stay safe.

Well done Mr and Mrs Fish locker. I have cooked dogfish numerous times over the years. It's an underestimated food source. I must say ive never thought of cooking it in a wok before. Hopefully I will get to try it soon. Thanks for posting another great vid. Superb.!!!! 👏👏👏👏

Lovely you two 👏👏👏👏

I grew up fishing and exploring rockpools from a very young age. After watching one of your videos, i was hooked. I immediately subscribed and shared the video. I love love love your videos and what you do. You're so knowledgeable and an inspiration It's so interesting to see the different flora and fauna where you are from. Thank you, from Melbourne, Australia

Hello Mr and Mrs Fishlocker! Firstly thankyou for your inspirational videos....Yours is a way of life I dream of, and you've inspired me to pursue it. I'm off fishing on the Pembrokeshire coast next week, we always get plagued by Dogfish, so I'm going to follow your skinning and filtering guide, and Mrs Fishlocker's Dogfish in breadcrumbs recipe and cook up some rock and chips for everyone! Hopefully conditions will be kind and I'll be able to get out on my kayak and catch some Mackerel, Pollack and perhaps a Bass or two, but the Dogfish are ever reliable.... Thanks again!

Another great video. I loved the sound of the skin peeling back off the fish 😂😂 My mam would call this fish Sweet William, and we would have it as fish and chips. Happy days. x

Great team effort.... As always... 👌

good to see your both well and safe hope little man is ok john, complements to the chef !! stay well chaps

Another great one guys, add some finely chopped chilies, some fresh ginger and a pinch of Chinese 5 spice to your next stirfry, along with some of that garlic :) Those fish goujons look delicious, I have done it with pollack, cod, ling, pouting and a few other species, never with dogfish so if I ever get to fish again in the waters of the south east of Ireland, I will be trying that one out. Great one guys, hope you are all safe, keep the videos coming :)

Great stuff mate! Keep it coming!👍👍👍

Thank you for the video! I really appreciate you using all the animal! Waste not, want not!

First time I watched this video fantastic John

You and your wife are really Blessed! You are fantastic at what you do and your wife makes a delicious meal with it! Outstanding! 👏👏💖

thanks again guys enjoyed it ,stay safe x

Takes me back to the days when every 'Chippy' sold 'Rock Salmon' 'Rock Eel' 'Huss' etc, depending on what part of the country you were in. I used to like it with loads of vinegar. Thanks for keeping us in touch with all things fishy. 😊 Ps the recipes looked yummy. 🐟🎣🍽👍😊

Love watching your stuff mate, the funny thing is I don't fish and I don't eat fish, just discovered your channel when browsing bored on lock down.

Many thanks for sharing, got to try this when the lockdown is over. stay safe

Thanks for the shearing Mr and Ms Fish locker Food looks great I released sou many of dogis Now ther will goo on the table Good bless you and your family ⛏️🎣
