Mine get whiting, croakers, sand trout, speckled trout, redfish, black drum, sheephead, gray snapper (Mangrove snapper in Florida) Spanish Mackeral and even flounder. I ALWAYS fillet the meat off the bone and cook in microwave. I am leary of the fish bones. However, when my old Irish Setter was terminal with bone cancer and I was taken him fishing every day, he managed to grab and eat several bait mullet I dumped out of my casting net, and he also got a couple of speckled trout off my stringer and ate part of them before I got them away from him.
Some of the salt water fish are built so funny and are really hard to filet without an electric knife--which i won't use because I would cut my fingers off, and I have actually been stabbed and cut by bones while cleaning the fish. So i am very reluctant to let them have any bones.
I fed our old cat so much real fish that if I tried to give her canned or dried food that was suppose to have fish, she turned her nose up and walked away from it!
Anway, hope this answers your question--oh and my dogs do LOVE fresh fish.
