The triangular shaped wings, which might be whole or portioned, depending on the size of the fish, have easy to remove soft bones. The meat is pleasant and creamy with a delicate texture. The best skate are called blondes. Skate is very easy to cook - tick the box if you'd like a recipe for skate in caper sauce. This is 500g (1lb 1oz).
