Ikan bakar is an Indonesian and Malay dish, prepared with charcoal-grilled fish or other forms of seafood. Ikan bakar literally means "grilled fish" in Indonesian and Malay.

Yes, you can cook stingray and skates. As unappetizing as they look, and as weird as their anatomy seems, stingrays (skates too) aren't much harder to clean than your usual table varieties. And, yes, they make delicious dinners.

In Malay, it is ikan pari (“fairy fish”), while in Chinese it is sometimes known as mogui yu (“devil fish”) —the stingray thus finds itself simultaneously embodying a whimsical fairy and a monstrous devil.

In spite of this, grilling the flesh of stingrays is by far the most common preparation technique. You might season the fillets with ginger and spices and then marinade them. Give it about an hour in the marinade before serving. After that, cover each piece in a piece of aluminum foil, and cook it over charcoal.
