Our ray is caught off the French coast using traditional artisanal methods. Carefully selected by fishermen for whom the long-term sustainability of the species is a major concern, it is caught by nets and brought aboard the boat alive. Our rays are peeled on both sides and deep-frozen the same day on which it is landed for maximum freshness. Its ribbed texture gives it a unique taste when cooking.
