It's good but it's not your traditional fish fillet.

Had an old Greek guy take a nice size ray from me one day. I asked if he was going to eat it and how he cleaned them. He told me and now I keep every ray I catch.

FYI. I take my Dewalt with a new 1" hole saw. Start just off the spine, 1/2" or so and drill holes straight down. Move from the spine out to the edge of the "wing". Stop when the wing gets too thin. Take a pairing knife and trim the hide from the outside and what little internals are left on the inside. You get 2 plugs of meat off each hole. Think of a big scallop with a little stringier texture. Battered or just seasoned and sauteed it fries up well.
