What goes with Skate?
Skate wing has broad sheets of lean flesh arranged in long strands against a fan of cartilage. Its flavour is mildly sweet and marine, and its texture can feel more gelatinous than the large flakes of cod. Use skinned wings of comparable thickness so the edges and the flesh near the cartilage can cook evenly. Specify boneless portions when the dish needs precise assembly.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Skate?
Sharp capers, citrus flesh and crisp vegetables work best when they are divided into small pieces that fit between the fish's strands. Keep rich sauces thin enough to wet the flesh without masking it. A crisp coating needs a separate, drier route to the plate; pouring a wet garnish over the whole wing sacrifices the contrast almost immediately.
