First Bull Huss

[MissRhianL 70]

Went out sea fishing today at Porthcawl pier with my other half. Between us we pulled in 25 dog fish and my first ever Bull Huss just weighing over 5lbs.

Huss and chips tonight? Cut them into small chunks cover in bread crumbs and deep fry for a couple of minutes as good as scampi. But the question we all want answering did it spew over you?

I've never actually tried doggys? What they like? I believe your supposed to freeze them first to get rid of ammonia in the flesh or something? I'm not sure I've always just chucked em back lol I know the lessers were sold as rock salmon but Huss? I caught one about 18-20lbs off looe about 10 year ago but the skipper made us put it back (rightly so, his livelyhood I suppose) but I'd have had a good go at that

Iv eaten them for years I've never really frozen them as they are used up the same night. We either use them for fish cakes or bung them in the micro with abit of lemon or salt and pepper u can't fault it and its free ? BullHuss is more or less exactly the same in taste part from its alot more or it lol. Partly why people chuck them back is because they don't like skinning them its alot of hassle if u don't know what ur doing. Pair of long nose pliers to skin them they don't take seconds. More times u do it the quicker u get ?
