Stingray Day

Its been awhile i havent written anything on this blog, Been so busy with a lot of things lately.

One interesting day yesterday though. A fisherman docked on the beach in front of the house carrying an 8 kilos of Stingray. Billy said we should buy it, not only for the meat but for the skin. He wanted to have a stingray skin made boots and belt. I think that would be cool, exotic.Im sure it would look realy good on him.

A stingray skin made boots if you buy it online will cost 500 -700 US dollars plus the shipping cost of course.

We got a good deal.P350 for an 8 kilos stingray? Oh yeah its worth it.
So anyway, we hired somebody to skin it, and we were amaze by how much meat is on it. We tried frying up a fistful of it, and id say the best meat ive ever tasted in my life. It melts in your mouth like butter. We have like 4 kilos in the refrigerator and its gonna take months to eat all of it. We gave a few kilos to a neighbor of ours. O-O

It took like 7 hours to skin and fillet it but I think its all worth it.
The pattern on the stingray skin is so nice and the meat is delicious.

These are some of the pictures i took ---"---,---(@
