Redpaste Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Had skate last week, was delicious. Never tried a ray though, figure it would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanty Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Do they taste like shark at all? I was just thinking they might since rays and skates are "closely related" to sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terp Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Anybody still fishing ? Haven't seen a report in a while. Still catching any rock or blacks? Kingfish there yet ? Trying to decide if it is worth a trip down to AIMD one day next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I forget the name now, But I worked the store in years 1962 to 1965, Summer vacation,Easter, any time I was off from school a week or more. My Fathers cousin Vinny was a partner in the store. I remember getting up about 1: a.m. or 2:am to go fishing in Cony Island at the fishing pier for Whiting, we would catch a few bushel's and sell them in the store. It was great crowing up then. I do know there was a A.& P market on the same street, A Salamada across the street and an Italian club next store. I would deliver fish and Eels for them to cook. They would make me play Bochi ball, and drink wine with them. Not bad for a 13 year old. Capt, Frank Mundus. The man, the myth, the legand.

hunter123 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 If I'm not mistaken , I think Ray's piss through there skin like some sharks do. I heard it makes for an ammonia taste in the meat. Maybe Skates are different. Brooklyn. your right on quick judging something, But were all human. I think the op understood and didn't think much about it. Tight lines. Capt, Frank Mundus.

Very similar to scallops. Sweet in taste and they can "take-on" different sauces very well. YouTube has a ton of videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critter Gitter Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Been eating clear nosed skates for years. Has a shellfish taste. Very sweet tender and distinct but freaky are the bones as remind me of human finger bones "That's a Screamer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critter Gitter Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Btw don’t get them confused with the cold water skates that roll up in a ball. They be nasty. "That's a Screamer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judahL Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Bad weather Sunday and dirty water Monday kept me from having much of a window the past weekend. Found a few shorts, blues and shad in the usual spots on Saturday... at least I got out there. Attended a memorial service on Plum Island for a long-time friend who lost his battle with depression/addiction. Excellent fisherman, great family and just 34 years old. His young daughter and girlfriend as well as many others missing him very much right now. It's not easy to understand how this happens, but you hope you did everything you could when you had the chance. But not for the grace of God there goes I.

Catskill John Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Not in this area but a 58lb striper was caught in the Hudson river last weekend, out of a boat, under the Beacon bridge. My thought was, isn't it kind of late in the season for a striper of that size to be that far north in the river? Maybe late spawning, maybe a good food source, maybe some just hang around? Don't know, maybe it's common, never fished the Hudson. Another thought, are all the large stripers (cows = 40#+) out of the Chesapeake by early June, or do some stay in the bay? I live in the Upper Delaware River area, we have sea run stripers up to about 36" make there appearance about May and gobble trout all summer long. Some are believed to be residential. Never heard of a cow this far north though. ASSUME NOTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
