Serves 4
Cooking Time prep time 5 mins, cook 20 mins
1 kg   skate wings
100 ml   red wine vinegar
2   fresh bay leaves
2 cups (loosely packed)   flat-leaf parsley leaves
1   large red onion, finely sliced
200 ml   olive oil
1   lemon, juice and zest only
½ cup   salted capers, rinsed


1 Rub skate wings with salt and a little of the vinegar to remove slime. Rinse in cold water. Place skate wings in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 2 tbsp of the vinegar, bay leaves, some parsley and salt. Poach the skate wings for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from saucepan and cool. Remove skin from wing and then, using your hands, pull flesh from cartilage in strips, and shred.
2 Place skate strips in a serving bowl, add remaining ingredients, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and combine well. Serve with crusty bread.
