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.
