I cranked one in on light trout tackle today and it got me thinking. My Vietnamese neighbor will eat anything that swims. He usually has a recipe or cook method that makes a white man's trash fish pretty decent. I wonder what can be done with a stingray as I think the meat is white.

Is it legal to take a stingray? Are there different species in Louisiana inshore waters? Any better tasting than others? What is eater size? Recipes?

Most scallop you eat in restaurants is actually stingray.

Lots of folks cant tell the diffrence between a ray and a skate, while skate is not my favorite I have had it a few times.

It may not be bad, but there’s too many better options available. I’m not that hungry.

People always say that it get subbed for scallops but I cleaned one a couple years ago, from Cat Island, and all I can say is it must vary by species. It was grainy, stringy, tough, and overall terrible.

I have eaten stingray in Singapore and it was very good. They skinned one side, cooked it, and you would eat the meat out of it. Its not alot of meat because its thin but I enjoyed it.

Yeah I heard it can be delicious. Guess it depends on species and what it's been feeding on

While it is true that skate has sometimes been sold as scallops, this isn't a common practice among reputable food service establishments. To say that "Most scallops" are fake is a gross overstatement. There are laws designed to protect consumers from such fraudulent claims. Violation of Truth in Menu Laws could result in serious repercussions and legal troubles.

In other parts of the world skate is considered a high end fish.

It cost a premium at fish n'chip shops in the UK, wife loves it, me not so much.

I like skate. Only cooked it one way with different sauces. Classic Skate Meunière & Skate Puttanesca. We always sold out...

I think it is both the cartilage and stringiness of the meat that turns me off more than the taste, just not my bag.

We were bowfishing in the surf on grand isle 2 years ago and somehow got a 60 pound stingray in about a foot of water. Scared the living crap out of us. We didn't want to waste it, so i looked up a youtube video on how to clean it and did my best. Thing had a ton of meat. So during our trout fish fry we battered the meat and fried it up and it was damn good. Wasn't chewy or anything, which was surprising. Caught a small one last year and cooked it the same way. I used to throw them back, but not anymore. Good eating imo.

Personally, that never makes it into the boat but I'm sure it was fun to fight.
