dogfish
Petite ocean predator
Dogfish is a name applied to various small sharks, especially the spiny dogfish common in coastal waters.
The name likely comes from their habit of hunting in packs.
Dogfish were once considered trash fish by commercial fishermen but are now marketed as "rock salmon" or "flake" in fish and chips.
We caught nothing but dogfish all day.
