My dad moved to Marshfield and went in on a side dragger to go day fishing.. At this time Haddock was considered dog food. Dogfish and skate were picked through the head and tossed back. It was the all mighty cod. Cod was cheaper than beef in a fishing town on the Irish Riviera. On the other side of the pond dogfish was the fish in fish and chips. Being sharks, their reproduction rates are low. Once they became food, there are less of them than cod.
