I haven't tried it, not as far as I know. Has anyone here eaten stingray? I probably mean shorttail stingray, but it would also be interesting to know how eagleray is for eating. How's it cooked? What's it taste like? I sort of doubt it tastes like chicken, since they're not a very sought-after fish (but I think they're more popular with some Pacific Island fishers). Is it like shark meat?
Cheers

I'll get in before all the Scale-munchers put you offLOL

Forget stingray  - meat ratio much lower than eagles...besides eagles fight much better.
Basically, skin it, chunk it, soak it then curries, deep fried, sambal.....Clap

Eagle rays would probably be in the top three of my target species.

Try your local chippie around the corner.
Crabsticks can be either three things- Rays Bream, Barracouta, or yes, you guessed it. Stingray.

SWMBO tells me Hoki is used as well - apparently it can take on the taste of anything, so depends what you use to spice it up with and what colouring you use too.
 
She's usually pretty good about these sorts of things...

Eaten it in Singapore, all the resturants have it, they are small though. Dont know how they cook it but like everything else they cook its nice. It only takes a few minutes to come out so they cant do too much to it, wraped up in a bananna leaf, just flakes off

scallops in many of the chinese eateries round the place are actually circles punched out of sting ray flaps. Taste ok.

In my hometown Melbourne it often used to sold in cheeky fish & chips shops years gone by as "FLAKE".....
Go the batter option and eat it with as much distraction (tomato sauce) as possible.

I think 'Flake' is the new marketing name for shark, probably introduced when the population realised what Lemonfish wasLOL

Pigs love them...cut them up with a axe and leave them on the edge of the bush...once they start to stink every pig in the area will be scrapping over it ....then its an easy conversion from a crap piece of sting ray to a nice wild pork roast

Stingrays are my freinds.
Stingrays bring kingfish for me to catch.
Stingrays "payback" people who are nasty toward them.
Stingrays taste like shet, if you really want to eat something nasty, can I suggest a spotty or twoLOL

have a mate by the name of Zane, (some may know him). a few years back he 'mistook' a small ray for a flouder, jamed his spear in it. Then let it go. he found it washed up dead the next day on the beach, seagulls had picked out it's guts and eyes but he took it home and ate it Dead apparently it tasted pretty bad, couldn't stomach the first mouthful. the thought of this has put me off. god knows what would posses anyone to want to eat a ray, let alone a dead one washed up.

Used to have a stingray come and visit me everyday. Same time same place. He would always be there. I named him Leroy. He was my mate. One day I took a friend down to my spot to get some snaps. No snaps but yup you guessed it My mate Harry hooked poor ol Leroy good and proper. Dragged him up the beach and Leroy was no more. Took him home and baked him with garlic and olive oil. Disgusting!!!!! Stunk out the whole house and tasted like cooked garbage. From then on I leave the poor buggas alone. Felt stink about killing and eating my mate too.
