Re: Skate Recipes
MDRAM:
Good Information on cleaning them...
Here is how I have cooked Skate in the past...
For the skate/sand dabs:
Heat a large sauté pan over high heat, and add a small amount of peanut oil. Season the skate or dabs with salt and pepper, and lightly dust with flour. When the oil sis hot add the skate to the pan, dusted side down. (Dusted is ususally a light flour that has fresh ground pepper, sea salt--I'm on a Celtiic kick right now any sea salt will work, but Cook until slightly brown. Add 1 ounce butter- I'm more generous and turn the skate over. Gently cook for 1 minute or until done.
Then:Combine cabernet and port together in a saucepot. Simmer and reduce to half. Combine the arrowroot any store sells this its a thickening part of the recipe--with one-teaspoon water and whisk into the wine reduction. The sauce should be slightly thick or until it will lightly cover the back of a spoon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Just a a bit over the skate and your reasy.
Its the cleaning of the skate though that I have never done...
Later,
Steve
