There is NO size limit to shovelnose guitarfish.

Leopard shark has to be 36", but not SGF.

I have heard that the meat parallel to the back bone make a great ceviche.

the shovel nose shout can be made into a nice pair of flip flops if it is dried properly....

People have reported even bat rays are fantastic eating when you punch little scallops out of the wings with a cookie cutter

Great read

I've had bat ray before it was pretty good.

Landed it on a float tube in mission bay

only kept it because my grandpa insisted they were good. He filleted it and froze it. When we had a fish fry a week or 2 later we put a few pieces in the batter a fried iit up. To my surprise it tadted like deep fried clams

Ive seen deep fried clams sold at different resteraunts so that was pretty cool. I have no doubt that not everyone would enjoy that taste though. All in all though they are a lot of work to deal with while on a kayak (or float tube), I would rather just release.

On the east coast we eat Cownose rays (bay scallops). Meat isnt what you think it would be. Personally I brine it for a day and then marinade and grill on the bbq. delicious! taste more like steak than fish.
