Skate
This fish is generally sold cut in strips and curled round with a piece of the liver in the centre; it is then called crimped skate; and is considered by many delicious eating.
The general fashion for dressing this fish is to boil it in salt and water, and serve it with white or brown caper sauce, or with shrimp or anchovy sauce.
Skate is also excellent when bread-crumbed and fried, and served with either of the sauces above named, and also with tomata, Indian, or piquante sauce.
