Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• While mushrooms are sauteing, make the White Sauce by melting 4 tablespoons of butter in the top of a double boiler. Stirring constantly, gradually add the flour. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Slowly pour in milk. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes until sauce is thick and smooth.
• Add stingray to the Mushroom Mixture and cook for about 5 minutes. Combine stingray and Mushroom Mixture with the White Sauce and stir well. Pour everything into a casserole dish. Cover with cracker crumbs and top with grated cheddar cheese.

STEAMED STINGRAY WITH LEMONGRASS, GINGER, ORANGE AND LIME

Steps:

• Discard tough leaves and woody base of the lemongrass. Thinly slice the tender portion of the lemongrass stem.
• In the base of a steamer, combine lemongrass, orange juice, lime juice and ginger; bring to a boil.
• Arrange stingray on steamer rack or basket, fit to pan, and cover tightly. Reduce the heat and steam for 5 minutes or just until the stingray "flakes" easily when tested with a fork. If rack will not hold all of the stingray at one time, steam in two batches.
• Using a wide slotted spatula, carefully transfer the stingray from the steamer rack to heatproof platter or individual serving plates; keep warm.
• Turn up the heat to high and cook juices uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes or until it becomes sauce, reduced by about half (it should have the consistency of syrup).
