    I dont know if this is serious.... but depending on how it is cooked and how fresh it is:

    Medium Textured Fish
    Still flaky but firmer and thicker.

    • Trout, Arctic char, Catfish, Red snapper, Grouper, Skate, Cod, Hake, Black fish, Haddock, Redfish, Halibut, Black Cod (Sablefish), Monkfish, Chilean Seabass, Escobar
    Wine with Medium Textured Fish
    Look for medium bodied whites with high aromatics and rich full-bodied whites aged in oak.

    • Chardonnay
      Sauvignon Blanc (CA)
      Sauvignon Blanc (NZ)
      White Rioja
    • Semillon
      Dry Chenin Blanc
      Fiano (Italy)
      Moschofilero (Greece)
    • Dry Riesling (Washington)
      Pinot Gris (US)
      Pinot Gris (Alsace)
      Garganega (Soave)


    3. Meaty Fish
    Types of fish that are firm with a meaty and steak-like texture.

    • Bluefish, Salmon, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Shark, Swordfish, Tuna, Monkfish
    Wine with Meaty Fish
    Rich white wines with lots of flavor and even a few red and rosé wines.

    I think I would go for a stronger more full bodied and rounded taste like a Chardonnay... or have i been had here?

    You're right - dogfish being members of the shark family a chardonnay would be ideal.

    And, yes you're right - you've been had...

    The combination of beer with fish is less well known, but as a lover of fish (not necessarily Dogfish) and beer - it does seem natural to bring the 2 together. Apart from fish and chips, traditionally made using beer in the dough, this is most commonly found in Belgium, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic - where fish prepared in beer sauce is more common. The most common fish prepared in this way is trout, sole, carp (much too fatty for me - but a Polish speciality at Christmas) and Zander. We could be creating a cooking thread here !

    The Spanish sometimes also cook fish in cider.

    When I lived in Whitstable we often had fish and chips on the beach accompanied by the local brewery's raspberry wheat beer. I'm salivating at the memory...

    All this talk of fish and chips.... I became a veggie about eighteen months ago. Everybody asks "Don't you miss bacon?". Definitely not. Nor any other 'meat'. But fish and chips...
    And I miss shellfish hugely. The idea of a big bowl of mussels and a pint...

    I was a fish eating veggie for 35 years... but after diabetes and living in France and never getting anything other than an omelette realised the need to eat meat so went back.....

    A lot of Fish is still 'free range' so good to eat etc

    Mind you thin crispy soya bacon does have the taste

    I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but if you google 'Best wine with dogfish' you end up here. We have to work under the assumption that cooks the World over, in search of an answer to this, are visiting our site. Rumour has it that Delia Smith has been here.
