I've heard the ray wings used as scallops stories for years and I've tried it twice. Once with a large round sting ray and once with a bat ray. I can only guess that the people who think this works like their scallops chewy with a bunch of red meat in them. Niether of the rays I tried was scallop-like in the least and not what I would would want on my plate ever again. I have also heard that skate wings are what you should use and not rays. I caught a bunch of clear nosed skates when I was in North Carolina and after my experience with the rays I was not tempted in the least to eat one of those ugly things. You might want to just let the rays go. Mike
