Hi Guys,
Ive been catching a lot of thornbacks recently,and returned all of them. Im tempted to take one for the pot. However I dont know enough about preparing the wings. I wont take a fish untill i am sure that im going to eat it. So does anyone have any advice,about cutting and preparing the wings of a thornback ? Thanks Martin. |

Cut the body off it is in a figure of "8" once removed skin the top and watch out for the thorns, they can do real damage, I just rub flour and salt and pepper and grill it. They have no bones, but a cartilage and you scrap the flesh away .... lovely

The last time I caught a skate and cooked it was way back in the late 70s, believe it or not in those days we eat everything
 including the bait

No im refering to kill the fish,then de-wing it and dispose of the body. |
