It's all the rage in New York city restaurants right now. If it's not on your menu you're nobody.

Imagine Monsanto crossing the flavors of sea scallops with crab and with the texture of speckled sea trout or weakfish.. Not mushy, but very delicate.

Google skate wing in brown butter caper sauce. I served it over thin spaghetti and steamed up some broccoli. I also sauted up 3 squid as an appetizer. Simple.

I think I mentioned this in another post. If you can master skinning them, they are really delicious.
Eben hit the nail right on the head with the Noissette prepatation (means hazelnut in French which refers to the brown butter).
Meuniere (in the method of the miller) with parsley, lemon, capers is another hit with skate.
It's the only fish (to my knowledge) that gets more tender the longer that you cook it.

me and my friend took home a skate and threw the whole thing on the grill a few years ago on our very first fishing outting. Not sure how many spices we put on it, but after we got through the skin, the small amount of flesh we got was very good! lol. We had no idea what we were doing, but it tasted good!!

I guess catching them is better than getting skunked, but not much.

that's funny, a friend of mind just told me how he had it at a restaurant in mhead and it was amazing. I know you guys have said that in the past on here as well, but the idea of skinning it kinda freaks me out!

I caught one once on a flyrod at Parsons Beach in Maine. Some oriental guy was happy to have it.
There I go spot burning again, next thing you know it will be full of guys with flyrods fishing for skates.
