Skate’s are in the ray family and are commonly found along the costs of the U.S, winter skates are the most popular Atlantic species.

The wings, the most commonly served part of the skate, feature silky strands of meat that cook up rich and meltingly tender, especially if the fillets have been brined prior to cooking. The flavor of skate is mild yet distinctive, sometimes compared to scallop or crab. Skate wings have a high collagen content, which can give a nice, gelatinous texture when cooked. They have a unique striation in the flesh that produces more of a "shred" than flake. The flesh is very soft and has a line of cartilage running down the muscle striation. Because of its mild flavor, skate is quite versatile.
