Skate Wing (Blonde Ray)

Our fishing vessels work out of Exmouth, Brixham and Newlyn, and operate in accordance with the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme. They keep us well topped up most days with a selection of fresh fish and shellfish, and a catch can often be on its way to the Greendale farm shop within hours of leaving the sea. If we can’t catch it ourselves, we source only from trusted suppliers with standards as high as our own. The fish available may vary, depending on the season, but a delicious variety is always to be found on our fish counter. From whole fish to fillets, live lobsters to shrimp, our wide selection is sold in a choice of portion sizes and prepared for your convenience by our skilled fishmongers.

Skates and rays are a large group of fish that can be of a considerable size with a flat body, large fins and a long whip-like tail. Skate is the ‘wings’ or fins of a cartilaginous flatfish and  it's meat has a distinctive taste and fibrous texture.

Treat your Skate Wing gently. You can grill or pan-fry it – or try wrapping in foil with butter and herbs, then baking in a medium oven for 8-10 minutes and serving with a squeeze of lemon.
