good eats,but then again you can deepfry a piece of pinebark and it would taste good,the meat was layered,1/4 inch thick meat then membrane 1/4 meat,then membrane, due to the fact these critters dont expire that easy,and put up with more fight than you could imagine,it stressed out the meat making the membrane a bit bloody,other than that the meat is good.looking back a bang stick would have been a better choice of tool to harvest these beasts, we search the flats every summer for this giant ray,they are still there..august is best.. good luck

we were clamming one day,came across these giant holes,at the time couldent figure out what could have made them,told an old timer,he avised us to stay clear of them holes,"a giant stingray with a poisionus stinger could be in one of them holes coverd with silt,get whipped by his tail in the leg,good chance your leg will turn black,you might even lose it".he gave us a 16ft cedar pole with a brass harpoon head attched to a cable and swivel then about 50ft of 3/8ths rope tied to a yellow jug,his last words were"you better make it a head shot"i soon found out why as for the "scallops"they were good,but the membrane made a mess,realized we were wasting meat,found it was better to grill chunks. on your hunt,start down tide,look for the muddy water,ease up very slowly,you should be able to sneek right up behind one,get over top of one and drive that harpoon through his head,let him run with the jug,he will settle back down,then retrieve the jug,handline him to the boat,dispatch,haul him in. DO NOT TRY THIS ALONE,bring one of your Wild Buddys,good luck!
