Rock salmon

Rock salmon

Rock salmon, (also called Rock eel, Flake, and Huss in the UK) is the flesh of the Spiny dogfish or the bull huss ("Scyliorhinus stellaris"). Consumed in many European countries, rock salmon is sold by fish and chip shops in the UK. However, the Spiny dogfish is now an endangered species due to overfishing, and is considered Critically Endangered on the IUCN Redlist.
