Schillerlocken are skinned, smoked belly lobes of the dogfish . When smoking , the thin, approximately 20 centimeters long, flaps roll up in a tubular shape and curve at the end. The shape is reminiscent of Friedrich Schiller's hairstyle with long neck curls , hence the trade name borrowed from it.

The spiny dogfish is by overfishing threatened and in which it is endangered Red List species the IUCN out ( "vulnerable") as endangered.

Schillerlocken, as well as the back muscles of the dogfish, which are traded as sea eels, contain an average of around 700 micrograms of methylmercury per kilogram, mostly of natural origin. The tolerable daily dose of methylmercury for adults is 0.1 micrograms per kilogram of body weight.
