Want to taste some Chesapeake Ray? The Wild Side Café will be offering free samples courtesy of the Virginia Marine Products Board. Ray, sometimes called “Veal of the Sea,” is a new product for the food service market. Ray has all the benefits of fish without the fishy taste.

The café will be offering fried samples while supplies last.
