Spanish term or phrase: “papelones” de cazón

Hay freidurías que abren a mediodía y a la caída de la tarde y donde venden “papelones” de cazón, choco y pescadillas fritas que los gaditanos suelen llevar hasta las barras de las tabernas cercanas donde es costumbre acompañar con algún vino de la provincia.
This is about Cádiz (Spain). I'm gonna put it in Spanish, and in brackets "-------- dogfish).
Anyone tried these?
Thanks in advance.

paper-wrapped dogfish

Explanation:
Hi,

I think "papelones" is referring to the paper that the fried foods are wrapped in when you purchase them. There may be a better term...
