Default skate

Everything i could find online says the skate has been over fished in Europe, Asia, S. America, basically everyplace but here, obvious to any Assateague fishers. So... who is going first? The post at the top of the thread said they taste good. So WHY NOT? They look nasty? So do oysters and they are great. I have hesistated in years past because if they tasted nasty I'd feel bad about killing one. Yes, soft at heart. But now that someone has tried it and said they tast egood i am in. Let you all know if they are good when the weather warms a bit. Pat

PS -Going to Cape Cod for two weeks in July. Going to fish with my ywo brothers who live in Mass. Marblehead and Duxbury. I have never caught stripers like I do with the Marblehead brother.

Enjoy spring and i hope you all get hooked up soon. Water inching up to 50, maybe this weekend.

Default Skate debate

It has beens settled. Skate is not great. I took one and ate it. No flavor and chewey chewey chewey. I ate the one that has like leapard spots. If anyone else tries one don't eat that kind it was no good.

OMG!!!
You shouldn't eat that one, you will grow gills!!!!

Go to fishbase.org and see if you can find a name for it.
Put Ray into the common name, then sort by country.
It takes a while to load everything, minute or so.
Then go down to USA.

That doesn't sound like a skate. Maybe a small leopard ray?

Default clear nose

It looked just like the picture of the clear nose skate on our site. It wasn't good eating. I don't know man, maybe i prepared it wrong? No gills yet, but the sides of my neck do itch...
