[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 354377, member: 10"] Dude - that photo is off a Smooth Dogfish - they have rasp like teeth (the teeth are actually flat) that WILL NOT draw blood - I have caught thousands of them over the years [i]Dentition of the smooth dogfish differs greatly from other sharks which have sharp blade-like teeth. The small teeth of the smooth dogfish are flat and blunt, similar in both the upper and lower jaws. They are asymmetrical with a rounded apex or cusp. Large mature smooth dogfish has tooth crowns that are low, hiding the cusps. The 8-10 rows of functional teeth are used to crush and grind prey items rather than bite and tear as with other species of sharks. [/i] As far as food - not that great, but edible They are loaded in the waters around here (both smooth and spiny types) You might be confusing this with a Brown Shark (aka Sandbar Shark) which have a nice set of teeth [img]https://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/forum/images/Descript/Smoothdogfish/smoothdogfish3.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
