Ok, was in this fancy-dancy French eatin' house today and saw Skate on the menu.
Alright, so I'll "bite".

Ya know, I can't believe I've been throwing all that good eatin' back in the water, that thing was GREAT!
Kind'a stringy like lobster and had a taste like shellfish, only sweeter.
I'm going out on a limb here and say it tasted better than Drum.

Add some pepper or whatever you want to some flour and coat the filet with olive oil. Put a light coating of flour on the filet.
Braise for 3 minutes each side in the pan and finish it off in the oven, 350 for 7 minutes.
I'll try it next time I catch one, if I can get it skinned....
