San Diego Bay all you can catch pancakes - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

In high school I made a hobby of wading the flats down at the entrance to Fiesta Island bowfishing stingrays and such. One day I shot a nice shovelnose and brought it home. All the meat is in the tail, and it yielded really nice steaks. I put them in the smoker and they came out looking beautiful, but the meat was so oily it was near inedible. The taste was good, but the oil was just too much to overcome. Maybe if your chef friend worked up a brine to soak the meat in and leach out most of the oil it would be a really good tasting fish.
