Rock salmon, also called rock eel, flake, huss or Sweet William, is a dish popular in Britain, often served as part of a fish and chips supper.

The dish can be one of many species of small shark, including the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), Rough-hound (Scyliorhinus canicula) or the bull huss (Scyliorhinus stellaris).

Rock salmon is consumed in many European countries. However, the spiny dogfish is now an endangered species due to overfishing, and is classed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List[1] and the North East Atlantic population is Critically Endangered.[2]

Rock Salmon is not kosher, i.e. it is not a permitted type of fish according to Jewish dietary laws.
