Sautéed Skate with Fresh Salsa
Sautéed Skate with Fresh Salsa
Skate con SalsaSkate is a small species of ray—a flat-bottomed kite-shaped fish found in many places around the world, and fairly common in the Sea of Cortez in Baja, Mexico. Until recently it was seldom exported, even though it's a popular food in Europe and parts of Asia. Now, the wings, the edible part, are occasionally available, skinned, in specialty fish markets in the United States. The firm white meat is similar to scallops and in Mexico is usually sautéed in butter and served with a simple sauce and crusty rolls.
