I have tried some rather exotic foods such as Zebra, Antelope, Gator, Rattler, Eel, Octopus, Conch, Bear, Sturgeon and Ostrich. Never tried ray.
I was just curious.
Thanks All.

It's a common dish here in asia called BBQ Sambal Stingray, done with stingrays from the sea.
It's wrapped in a banana leaf, a chilli prawn paste and grilled over a fire.
The meat is white, and stringy following linearly along a similar flat cartiledge. It's tender and does not smell fishy. The skin is slight rubbery.
The texture is overall very similar to shark. Boneless once you scrape the meat off the cartiledge which is flat and parellel in the centre of a standard cut.
It's served fresh off a charcoal grilled oven and dipped into a lime, chilli and baby shrimp sauce for an extra bang in taste. It's a yummy popular dish here in asia.
I lost my taste for it though once I started keeping FW rays.
If you want exotic and exciting, go for live korean baby octopus.
You can either snip off the still moving tentecles and enjoy the little suction cups against your inner cheeks or wind the whole sucker onto a chopstick and swallow it in one gulp.
You could choke and die if you don't wind the octopus right, an it gets a hold inside your throat.
