Usage examples
  • There are several other species mixed in, including grenadiers (which are simply tailed), a few blue ling (easily gutted) and a couple of dozen Portuguese dogfish, known in the industry as siki shark. They are, in fact, small shark, mostly about a metre long with razor teeth, rough brown hides and beautiful yellow-green eyes that shine like neon lamps in the fish hold's dark shambles. Like the crabs, the siki shark seem more resistant to the gross shock of being brought up from a kilometre below and several still thrash or twitch among the heaps of corpses.
