Fried Skate Wings

Fried Skate Wings

Skate wings are deceptively easy to cook and go so well with this sharp and citrus salsa. Accompany small potatoes and salad for a great meal.

Ingredients

• 450g skate wings (2 small or 1 large cut in half)
• 1 heaped tbsp seasoned flour
• 2 tbsp oil

For the green salsa

• 1 medium clove garlic
• Freshly milled black pepper
• ½ level tsp sea salt
•  4 anchovy filets, drained and finely chopped
• 1 heaped tbsp capers, drained
• 1 heaped tsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tbsp fruity olive oil
• 4 tbsp fresh lime juice

Method

STEP 1

Crush the garlic and salt into a paste.

STEP 2

Stir in the other salsa ingredients to complete.

STEP 3

For the skate wings, heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.

STEP 4

Clean the wings, and lightly dust them with the seasoned flour.

STEP 5

Gently add the wings to the hot oil, frying for around 4 minutes on each side.

STEP 6

You can tell when they’re cooked by piercing the flesh with a knife. If it comes away easily with cooked flesh, then it’s ready to eat.

STEP 7

Pour in the salsa mix to warm it up briefly, and then spoon over the skate wings to serve.
