Don't about dogies, but bullhusk are the same family.
First is to boil in water for about 1 Minuit to get rid of any sand and so you can then pull the skin away. Theflesh is then used to make a fish pie.

If I remember rightly, to skin a dogfish (they were called rock salmon in the good old days*) you make a cut along the belly from the underside of the gills to the vent.
Then, turn it over and cut a 'V' shaped cut from the centre of its head to the gill covers.
Take a pair of pliers and gripping the 'V' cut in the skin, while holding the head firmly with your other hand, you strip the skin straight off in one movemnet.
Mind you, its been a very long time since I did it last.
Hope this helps.

Its all in the nostrils. I will try and dig up a few pics to show the diffrence. below is the way to tell them apart.
Look at their nasal flaps, on a dogfish they extend all the way from their nostrils to their mouth where as on a Bull Huss they finish about half way between their nostrils and their mouth.
As a guide also if they are over a couple of pounds they are most likly to be a Bull Huss.

It's well worth putting in a Caribbean fish curry, holds together really well. I use the Tropical Sun brand curry powder (from ethnic supermarkets), I mix the mild and the hot together because the mild hasbetter depthflavour but I like the heat.Alarge ripe mango or a tin of mango slices, maybe some papaya or plantain, couple of peppers, tin of coconut milk, couple of limes, few coriander leavesand an onion. Soften the onion in oil, add the curry powder and stir, add the coconut milk, then the fruit and the peppers, simmer and reduce for a few minutes until the fruit is softened (if using tinned mango it's already soft), add the cubed fish andspoon the curry sauce over it, turn the heat down and put a lid on. Don't stir now or the fish might break up, just let it cook through for 5 minutes or so.
Check one of the fish pieces for being cooked through, add the juice of a lime, serve on coconut rice withanother squeeze of lime and the coriander leaves either over the top or stirred through the rice.

Household favourite, goes great with a cold beer or five. Drop me a PM for next time you're in Bolton and I'll tell you where to get the other ingredients at the best price.

The Dog fish were always better at skinning my wrist when unhooking them than I ever was when trying to cook one
