Make sure that the frying pan is big enough to accommodate both skate portions lying next to each other. Using a large pan will ensure they hold their shape once cooked; curly is less appealing.
Cover them with enough water to keep them submerged. Add the sliced carrot, onion, celery, a bay leaf, some peppercorns, and one-half of the red wine vinegar, along with salt. Put the pot on moderate heat and bring it to a boil.
A thicker portion will only take 5 to 10 minutes more, and you can test the fish’s doneness by pressing its flesh. When it becomes firm, it is done.
The sauce can be prepared while the skates are cooking. Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Continually heat until a light brown colour appears. As soon as it has done so, squeeze in the lemon juice and remaining wine vinegar. Blend well.
Then, stir in the chopped parsley (reserve a few leaves for serving) along with the capers. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the fish to plates once it has been drained. Place the sauce on top. To finish, sprinkle the remaining parsley on top.
Make sure you serve it right away! You can serve it with steamed vegetables and roasted potatoes for a delicious meal.
