Notes
- I did not bake the skate wings in foil, baked at the right temperature and for the right amount of time does not require foil, plus the skate wings are pretty flat, there is no risk of underbaking them.
- If you choose to fry the skate wings instead of baking them, I would lightly coat them in cormeal or flour and shallow fry them in a large frying pan on both sides until golden.
