Comments
Edmonds Fish are a family-run business with boats moored at Taieri and with a fish shop in Green island. They only have fish for sale if the boats can go out, so that’s a true indication of just how fresh the fish actually is.Skate wings are not so commonly used here in New Zealand, which is a shame as they are moist and delicious. They are also one of the cheapest types of fish on the market, making it a very reasonable meal for the family. The recipe below is a classic, but don’t be afraid to experiment with skate. As you would other fish it will take on any flavours to add to it very well!
