  Makes brilliant fish & chips if you can get the skin off cleanly.

  The skin is rough and feels like sand-paper as the dogfish, like all sharks and rays, is covered in tiny teeth-like structures known as 'dermal denticles'. These reduce drag when the animal is swimming.

  there was another a few yards(sorry metres) from here i spotted the pictured one.
  
  the other one had been dead much longer thus ruling out a suicide pact.

  The second photo looks more like smooth hounds, young ones. In fact, looking at them again, I am sure they are juvenile smoothies, two dorsal fins and one anal fin, white spots on flank. Not nice to eat, full of iodine.
