Iron Chef cooked Stingrays, Yuck

[kellanrevere]

Do the locals eat them? I don't know... but there just seems to be something wrong with this... sort of like eating the dolphins.

 

To each his own, but ...........

A lot of so-called scallops are made from sharks and rays.

If you ever see "Skate Wing" or just "Skate" on a menu, that is stingray. Basically, the only part you eat from a stingray is the wings. I have never tried it, but some of the restaurants I service sell it like crazy when they put it on special.

 

 

After our upcoming Grand Cayman excursion to swim with the Stingrays, I doubt I will ever try it. Too much of an animal lover, especially after I get to meet a few. ;)

I won't eat any animal/fish that I have held in my hands and petted. No Bambi or Stingrays for me!

dolphin and whale meat is great. ,seal liver is to die for,skates and rays have white meat that you can cookie cutter into disks and pass for scallops.Salmon sharks have pink flesh tastes like Marlin,mussels,limpets,cockels,eels,salmon , halibut, cod, the sea is full of wonderful food.Stay away from farmed salmon, EAT WILD ALASKA SALMON

Skate is served fried in England quite frequently and I've seen them whole...they don't LOOK like stingrays. Just flat fish.

Hmm. Maybe different in other countries.

It was very yummy.

:)

I do agree though, I don't want to eat Flipper, Bambi or the Stingrays I will be petting in GC.

I agree no stingrays for me. They eat parrotfish in some places too, which also seems wrong after snorkeling with them they are so beautiful!

Years ago I had a stingwray appetiser at a restaurant in Indianapolis. It was very good. I also see lobsters when I scuba dive and have no problem eating them.

Stingray's have the same intelligence as a dog or cat, which is why many of us (including me) have problems eating them. It's too much like eating a pet.

Many cultures think dogs and cats are good to eat too!! To each their own.

 

 

BTW haggis is a national dish in Scotland, but I wouldn't want to eat it.
