Can you eat shovelnose ray

The guitarfishes are a group of skates as opposed to stingrays. As shovelnose guitarfish are associated with the seafloor, the majority of the prey also lives on the bottom. They eat a variety of benthic fishes and invertebrates, especially decapods like shrimps and crabs.

Large, coastal sharks and perhaps California sea lions are the only known predators of shovelnose guitarfish. Like all sharks and rays, this species reproduces via internal fertilization. Each individual embryo receives nutrition from a yolk sac, and females give birth to live, well-developed young. After birth, juveniles receive no further parental care and are ready to begin living a predatory lifestyle. Species Rays Description This member of the Guitarfish family is available wild caught.

So, there might be some truth to your comment. If that makes sence? Make sure you cut their tail off immeditately. I got this tip off a few commercial fisherman who chase sharks. This will cut through their main artery that travels along their spine and will not kill them immediately, allowing the heart to continue to pump blood out.

I've never had a problem with ammonia tasting doing this method but if it smells a bit like ammonia, then put it in a dish of milk for a night. View photos by Cammy. Australian Native Fish Vids.

Click Here! I think they are a shark cammy and know scientists that refer to them as sharks? Last edited by Outsider1; at PM. Shovelies are pretty easy to find - just target everything else. Though if you want to target them, pick a making tide, 5ft or less of water, dusk to 10pm, strip bait, on the bottom, or a little livie will also stop the pickers and put you in for a chance with a decent fish too - put a decent leader or trace as they are in the family prone to getting through mono.

You say fish, I say yes please. View photos by lippa. Page 1 of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page:.
