Skate Wing

Sunday dinner was skate wing

soak skate wings in salt pepper and milk to cover, I soaked for about 20 minutes

remove one wing at a time and allow milk to run off then dredge in flour lightly

add to pan with oil just shy of smoking, cook 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Cook in batches if necessary, hold on warm plate.

wipe out pan

add 2-3 tablespoons of butter, some chopped garlic and onion or shallot and cook until veg softens and butter is light brown. Add lemon juice. (and/or capers)

Plate fish, sauce, serve.

This is a very tasty fish, I surprised myself with it.

Said to be sold as faux scallops by dishonest fish mongers. If sold straight up as skate wings, they're quite tasty.

not really. no more work than chicken picatta or the like. for 6-7 minutes to cook the fish and maybe 5-7 to make the sauce, it is really simple.

I was out for dinner last night at a Greek seafood place. They had Skate on the menu so instead of the Arctic Char I normally have I gave it a try. It was outstanding. (could have done without the capers, but I say that every time I eat there. One day I'll remember to have them left in the kitchen.)

If you've never had it I'd highly recommend it.

Not the capers.

Skate and capers... it is in almost recipe I see for skate, probably because it is classic French stuff.

Fishmonger was out of skate Sunday, will look again tonight perhaps

Glad you liked it.
