Rays are fascinating fish, known for their habit of burying themselves in the sand. They’ve been a British classic for many years. When cooked, their flesh transforms from pink to white, adding to their appeal. Thanks to their high collagen content, ray wings boast a firm texture that stays moist and tender after cooking. The taste and texture are often likened to scallops, making them a real treat for seafood lovers.
One popular way to prepare ray wings is by pan-frying them with butter and capers. This simple method allows the flavours to shine while keeping the wings succulent. For something a little more indulgent, try serving them with a rich Gruyère sauce—perfect for showcasing the delicate flavour of the fish.
Beyond their delicious taste, ray wings also offer nutritional benefits. They contain iodine, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and phosphorus, which helps maintain healthy bones. Enjoying ray wings as part of a balanced diet, alongside regular exercise, can support a healthy lifestyle.
Whether pan-fried with butter and capers or paired with a decadent Gruyère sauce, ray wings offer a delightful culinary experience—and a nutritious one, too.
Sourcing:
We source our ray wings from the South and North of the UK. As we source from wild fisheries, this means weather plays a crucial role in the sourcing and we choose the best fisheries depending on the weather conditions. There are seven species of ray but we only buy three of these which are certified susatinable. Because we select the catch location throughout the year, we ensure we can supply fresh ray wing 50 weeks of the year to our customers. We choose British fisheries to esnure we support local fishing communities and the quality is great so why go anywhere else?
