Re: Tons of Sharks in the Shrewsbury River???
I've eaten cow nose rays but didn't care for the taste or texture. It's not the same as skate. I enjoy eating skate and often wonder why people throw them back. Not sure what the regs are regarding them but we hooked into a cow nose ray a few years ago around Chincoteague Va. Of course it was hooked up on a fluke pole with 12lb test on it, isn't it always the way. So after about 45 minutes of backing down on it and having a stupid good time we did manage to boat it. I was in my 18ft runabout "Biff 2" with my sons so it was all fun. Was about 4ft wingspan. Wacked it with the shark hammer and brought it home. The meat on the wings has definite fibrous structure running the length of the wings. We cooked it real careful so as to really give it an honest try. We didn't like it, kinda chewy with a strong taste. Not really a "fishy" taste but a strong taste. And that's what I know about eating cow nose rays. Give em a try, maybe you'll like em. and they are going to wipe out some other species....

Re: Tons of Sharks in the Shrewsbury River???
These rays are still in the river and slowly migrating way way up. It's pretty crazy. I see them when I am driving my truck over the bridges. Just the sheer numbers of them are going to wipe out a lot of stuff! No good.
Is there really no use for these fish? You know how they are trying to control the Lionfish population in Florida and the Gulf??? Maybe these rays are going to be our Lionfish.
