    There is nothing more classic than to serve skate with black butter. It makes a delicious dish that takes only a few minutes to put together and cook. A pretty dish for entertaining friends or serving at dinner. It is important to understand that Skate with Black Butter has a darker brown colour on the plate, with capers and herbs adding a beautiful and inviting green garnish. Fish like skates are members of the Ray family. Their long whip-like tails distinguish them from other flat fish. Fishmongers display their large pectoral fins for swimming. The flesh is white and tasty, sometimes pink, surrounded by a cartilaginous layer that makes the process of eating and preparing it simple. Using a fork, you can easily separate the flesh from the cartilage after cooking. The upper surface of the skates is a camouflage pattern, and the underside is white. Get any skin removed in the shop instead of doing it at home, this can be a hassle. Preparation and cooking time should be about 25 minutes for this recipe. The recipe for this French classic is surprisingly simple.
