Tasting

Two skate wings of 400g suits up to 3 people, or even a wing per person for those who are feeling hungry. We recommend to cook the skate in the short broth for 10 min then to remove its flesh from the cartilage and to fry it in butter. You can also cook it in the oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or even fry it in a pan, 5 minutes on each side.

Skate cooked in capers or with black butter are taditional recepies. Why not try them ? Skate is also very good cooked with a butter or hollandaise sauce.
