I went home to NC to visit my family. While I was there I asked my brother to take me gigging for flounder. As we loaded up his boat I put my bowfishing rig in the boat. He asked why was I bringing my bow and I told him I wanted to shoot a stingray if I saw one. :archer:
As luck would have it I saw several but only shot these two. I had no idea what they tasted like so I did'nt want to shoot everyone I saw. No need to kill just to be killing if they turned out awful.
I had to go on the internet to find out how to clean them. It was very easy and in just a minute or two I had 4 great looking fillets. I then cut them into smaller bite size pieces.
We cooked them up with our flounder we had gigged and also had a gar that I had shot while bream fishing. I knew the gar would be good but the rest of the family was very doubtful.
I took the first bite of sting ray and was very delighted to find out it really did taste like scallop. :jumper: The rest of the family causiously sampled tiny bites themselves. After the 1st sample of gar and stingray it was on.
After the meal was over I was suprised to see the sting ray and gar was all gone but 2 flounder remained untouched.

Some folks need to learn what's good and what's not.
I figured that out a long time ago when someone(mom) tried to feed me "southern tofu"/grits..lol
Good shooting. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
