Quote from: WSU on December 21, 2015, 01:55:20 PMI'd love to know how to cook dogfish. That would be a fun thing to do with the kids in the summer!Bleed. place on ice, filet, dip in egg and your favorite crumb, fry. They are excellent. Stein, the dogfish populations have actually taken a dive, probably in part to every salmon fisherman killing them just because.OP, as much as I am a proponent of eating Mergansers, I won't put it out there that they taste as good as a Mallard, Wood Duck, or Teal cooked the same way like marinated and grilled. However, if cooked appropriately, they do make excellent table fare as they do tend to be a bit more "gamey" tasting.I've also tried coyote, mine made the bacon that was wrapped around it taste bad. This does bring up the fact that the same species harvested in different areas may taste quite different from each other as well.

Stews,stir frys, stroganoffs, skewers and fajitas. It's all meat. Just rinse them well. Funny how a mallard who eats cow turds, pond scum and weed seeds tastes better than a mergie who eats salmon and steelie smolts. A toast to the lowly goosander!!

You can't even think about using bait down here from July on. I'm going to give that a try next year. Do you soak them at all? I think I recall reading that soaking them helps.
I've intended to try coyote, but always chickened out because of the smell. It does look like good light meat, similar to cougar. The rock chucks I've eaten were all young of the year, and had no flavor at all - very tender.
