Huss online

Scyliorhinus stellaris

Huss is also called dogfish, rock salmon, rock eel or sweet William. We’ve also heard it called dun cow in Devon. 

It is a type of shark, classed as a white fish. It has a well flavoured firm pinkish flesh. It used to be one of the most popular fish sold in fish and chip shops, especially as it is virtually free of those annoying small bones. It can take strong flavours, so try it in a fish curry!

If you don’t live near a fishmonger, order your fresh fish from a real traditional town centre fishmonger, The Smelly Alley Fish Company in Reading. The best place for seafood lovers to buy fish online. Huss has gone out of fashion and is hard to source, so you won’t be disappointed in your fish delivery! Other fish to try when you make fish and chips - cod and haddock.
