What is Dogfish?
Dogfish refers to several small species of sharks, such as the spiny dogfish and the smooth dogfish, that are commonly found in the temperate waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These fish are characterized by their elongated bodies, spiny dorsal fins, and a diet that includes smaller fish and invertebrates. Dogfish are often used in culinary applications, particularly in fish and chips in the United Kingdom, due to their white, flaky flesh.
