This fish dish combines a filet of small-spotted catshark with leek, dill and tomato. The small-spotted catshark is found on the continental shelves and uppermost slopes off Norway and the British Isles south to Senegal, including the Mediterranean and North Sea. They are small shallow-water sharks with a slender shaped body with a blunt head. Want to know why we created a dish with this unknown North Sea fish? Read it here.
