I'd be interested to know how you skinned them, I hear dropping them in boiling water is a good way :?

Was talking to one of the locals in louisburg last year. he was picking winkles to sell in france :shock: we were talking about dogfish, he would not believe me when i told him that they sell them in dublin as Rock salmon. :shock: BY the way the beach i was on was just past the Ocean lodge hotel killadoon. the bloke i was talking to let me go through his field to watch some fishing on the rocks. the mackeral been caught there were huge. I got the bug now hope to go back again later in the summer lovely place :wink:

i was pleased with myself doing 2 of them in about a hour and with vicegrips

pour a kettle of boiling water; scales drop off leaving a thick glutinous membrane

pliers removes membrane as well, better method

just eaten conger here in France; better to catch and release :? :wink:

A bientot!

conger is lovely if deep fried covered in bread crumbs
cut in to nice size chunks and place into a pot of water bring to the boil
once the water starts boiling strain and coat with bread crumbs and then launch into deep fat fryer only takes a minute or 2 to cook and is lovely
season bread crumbs well with garlic salt, cayenne, pepper and chilli powder/flakes for seasoning use good measures not pinchs
