Landed in Newlyn and Plymouth, our Ray Wings are aptly named: this fish is a member of the ray family, whose pectoral fins are so enormous that they have the appearance of wings.

Ray (very similar to Skate) wing is delicious, with a taste similar to scallops, and has a unique, firm texture due to a high collagen content in the fillet.

This also makes it incredibly moist when cooked, with a lovely springy mouthfeel.

Those in the know cook skate simply with brown butter and capers, which complement both the texture and flavour of this unusual cut perfectly.

Due to their collagen content, Ray Wings may start to turn sooner than normal fish. Therefore, these will be blast frozen in order to retain the freshness for longer. However we will always endevour to send fresh if available at that morning's markets. Please note that frozen fish will defrost in transit, and therefore may not be suitable for home freezing.
