What to Do When Your Dogfish Won't Hold Still

This cook went to the fish-monger and bought a dogfish. (Yes, I've got a "dog" theme going today.) The dogfish is fresh...it's been beheaded and cleaned, so all you're looking at is the dogfish fillet. Then our cook sprinkles salt on the fish, and is astounded at what happens!

Weird, isn't it? The dogfish didn't come back to life...instead, the salt reactivates the muscles, causing them to twitch and flop. And if you think that's freaky, a lack of salt can cause YOUR muscles to cramp and twitch as well...that's science for you!
