Overview

Starry ray is a Fish to Avoid! It is prohibited to land this species in the EU or UK, because of this, they are automatically a red-rated species. Many skate and ray species are unsustainable, and because most products are simply labelled as ‘skate wing’, it’s important to know which species you’re buying. If you don’t know the species you’re buying, it’s best to avoid eating it. Skate wings are sold in UK supermarkets, fishmongers, and seafood restaurants.
