Why is it that the English love catching stingrays when in oz we consider them as a waste of time and certainly would not eat them you guys call then skate and poor mans scallops Im not trying to be rude its just a general questions why would somone want to target them

Its a good question mate and I'm with you on this one.... I don't understand it either, they have no appeal to me whatsoever.

I dont fish in the sea around England, its the wrong colour :o)

LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIGURE IT OUT...
