I have never broken it down so I can't help you with the butchering...but I would pan saute it..maybe with a light coating of flour..then corn and tomato succotash.

When we lived in Atlanta there was a place at Lennox that was known for skate wing in browned butter. Supposed to be very very good.

Any idea if all skate is (skates are?) good, or just certain kinds?

3 Cups Potassium Nitrate, 2 Cups Charcoal, 1 Cup Sulphur
Had some kinda fun with that recipe when I was in high school. Won me a drive home with the local PD.

Isn't a skate pretty much a flat shark?

The one I caught was a little bigger than that one.
And I know they're similar to sharks, but I don't know just HOW similar.

ID Error Leaves Fish at Edge of Extinction"In an extinction scenario that might have been concocted by Douglas Adams or a taxonomically minded Kafka, a classification error has allowed fishermen to drive a species of skate to near oblivion. If it vanishes, the flapper skate will be the first fish officially exterminated by commercial pressures — and for the last 83 years, it wasn’t even considered a species. Biologist R.S. Clark declared in 1926 that the flapper skate, formally known as Dipturis intermedia, and the blue skate, or Dipturus flossada, were actually the same animal. His classification was widely accepted, and the two species were lumped together as the common skate. But when French Museum of Natural History biologist Samuel Iglesias decided to review Clark’s assessment, he noticed that common skates often look quite different. Genetic analysis backed up his suspicions: Clark was wrong. The flapper skate and blue skate really are different species. And that means trouble, because overfishing had already pushed the common skate to critically endangered status — a prognosis that now seems optimistic. Instead, continued reports of rare common-skate catches have obscured the flapper skate’s even-nearer-total collapse. According to Iglesias, whose analysis will be published in an upcoming issue of Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, immediate action is necessary to save the flapper skate. Otherwise it will go extinct, soon — and if it weren’t for Iglesias, nobody would have known." www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/11/extinction-error/
