Skate fish and chips
Fish and chips is a traditional dish consisting of freshly fried fish fillets and sliced fried potatoes. The fish is dipped in a batter of eggs, flour, and milk, and it’s then fried in oil, lard, or beef drippings. The most common types of fish used are cod, haddock, skate, and pollock, but cod is the most popular choice, with 60% of all fish and chips meals using it as the preferred fish.
Skate, on the other hand, is usually found in fish and chips shops along the west coast of Scotland. The fish has a mild, slightly nutty flavor that perfectly pairs with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice. However, the downside of using skate for fish and chips is that the tender meat first has to be removed from a myriad of bones that can be found in each wing of the fish.
