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 state is trying to create a market for the Ray because of concerns that rays are harming the oyster, clam, bay scallop and clam aquaculture population. Rays also destroy sea grass beds. The café will be offering fried samples while supplies last.
