Skate refers to several species of cartilaginous fish in the family Rajidae, flat, diamond-shaped bottom-dwellers related to rays, of which only the wing, the flattened pectoral fin, is typically eaten. Skate wing has a distinctive fibrous, striated texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor, and it is traditionally prepared pan-fried or poached, classically served in French cuisine as raie au beurre noir, skate with brown butter and capers. Because skate flesh naturally develops a faint ammonia smell from urea in the tissue as it ages, it is typically eaten very fresh or briefly soaked before cooking to keep the flavor clean.
