[Sca-cooks] period shark, skate etc. recipes?

[James Prescott]

> Do we have any recipes or other indication that the medieval folks ate shark, skate or other similar fish? Since they show little evidence of shying away from most sources of food I doubt they did here. But they may not have tried to specifically catch these fish, either.


Sure.

Viandier (c. 1395) has two recipes for dogfish (a kind of shark) and 
one for ray.

Ouverture (1604) has six recipes for dogfish.
