Skates and rays are a large group of fish that are caught worldwide. They can be of a considerable size with a flat body, large fins and a long whip-like tail. Skate is the ‘wings’ or fins of a cartilaginous flatfish. The meat has a distinctive taste and fibrous texture.

Skate wings are ready to go, once cooked you can scrape the flesh off the cartilage like bones with a fork.

Is it sustainable?
Most of the skate wings we get come from thornback or blonde rays caught from Looe. The MCS regard this fish as unsustainable because it is slow growing and not enough research has been conducted on the population.
