Some Action....Today
 

Josh O and I went made a early morning run!!! 26 trout 1 red and ONE HUGE Sting Ray.....


Josh said he is eating that thing!!! Sucker had babies in the ICE CHEST also!!!


Bruce..Put the old Ice Chest back to work!!!:)

how you clean them? i never ate one but ill try anything once.

I have NO idea...Never keep one!!! My buddy that keep it said he will find out!!!! I guess cut wings of and skin...:confused:

When I talked to you, you said that ray was huge, Thats a popcorn, sorry to bust ya bubble:*****::*****::*****::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just weight it....8.4lbs

thought you was talking 40 plus. thats why it didnt suck down to the bottom.

You may have and you didn't realize...sometimes at chinese buffets there will be stingray, especially in bigger cities, and they will call it crab or lobster look closer next time and see

i was in grand isle one year and we were catching a s load of rays and we were throuing them back when the old dude started yelling at us saying it is good food if you use a cookie cutter on its wings!!!! i dont care what it tastes like f that shiz

No pics of the baby rays??? just thought it would be cool to see!!

A couple of years ago there was an article in Tide magazine how to filet them. It is similiar to cleaning a flounder. They say that when sea scallops are out of season, that restaurants replace it with ray. I guess that's where the cookie cutter comes in. I've tried after I read the article and it wasn't bad.

When I dropped Josh off he keep the fish.....I told him to take pics...When he emails them to me I will post em...They looked like jelly fish...

Sting Ray
 

My grandpa years ago caught a Stinray in big lake as wide as the back of his boat. The boat I think was like a 21 foot off shore boat. He kept the stinger and used to show us it when we were little. Judging by the stinger it must've been huge.

Back in my younger and less sober days I tried one. @25-30lber. Fileted the wings off it, meat was dark and looked like it had been tenderized with lines thru it. Never did find a way to cook it that it didn't taste like raw mullet. and tough as could be. maybe i kept the wrong part? We thru it out. Wont keep another one. SK

i wouldnt allow that crap in my icechest.

DUDE WAS PUMPED UP.....HE wasn't throwing it back!!!! LMAO

Banana leaf fried stingray.

Ingredients

6 pcs of cuted stingray

Marinade:
2/3-cup honey
2/3-cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons liquid seasoning (Maggie brand)
4 tablespoons calamansi juice
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 inch ginger (smashed)
2 cloves garlic (smashed)
2 Shallots (Smashed)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 Inch square dried shrimp paste

Preparation.

Mix all the marinade ingredients and make sure that the dried shrimp paste is disolve before adding the stingray.

Marinate the stingray for a few hours or until 24 hours before grilling them.

The stingray now is ready to fry.

Heat in medium heat the tava (flat pan). Pour some cooking oil on top of the pan. Put the banana leaf on the pan and put the stingray on the banana leaf.

fry the stingray until it cook, pour the marinade juice often on the stingray in the frying process.

Serve hot with hot plain rice.

Take a 1" peice of pipe like you use for hurricane fences and cut it at a bevel. Drive it thru the wing over and over. After completely punching out the meat, drive a broom handle down the pipe and cut off the skin on each side. Now you have stingray scallops.
Did it once, it was okay, there are other things out there better.

use cookie cutters get your kids to eat stingray; christmas trees, stars, pumpkins, and what ever else you got.

It's all about perspective..... When you catch dink trout all the time, it probably did look huge.....:grinpimp:
