Fish & chips

Since "spiny dogfish shark" is not the most appetizing name, in recent years fishmongers have given it other names in hopes of appealing to consumers. In France it is sold as small salmon. Belgians know it as sea eel. Germans smoke the meat and call it Schillerlocken.

It is perhaps best known in English-speaking countries, particularly the U.K., as rock salmon, one of the most common fish in "fish and chips" shops.

I like fish & chips.
