What Makes Skate Special: Wild-caught skate (Mantarraya Blanca) is prized in Mexican cuisine for its mild, sweet flavor and unique, slightly firm texture. The meat separates into natural strands when cooked, making it absolutely perfect for machaca - the traditional dried and shredded fish preparation. Each generous 5-pound fillet provides plenty of meat for family meals or traditional preparations.
Perfect For: Machaca (dried shredded fish), tacos de mantarraya, ceviche, grilled skate wing, pan-seared preparations, fish stews, empanadas, tostadas, or any recipe where you want authentic Mexican seafood flavor with a unique texture.
Preparation: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. For machaca, poach or steam the raw fillet, then shred and dry. For other preparations, the boneless fillet can be grilled, pan-seared, or used in traditional Mexican recipes. The natural strand-like texture makes it perfect for shredding.
Serving Suggestion: Each approximately 5-pound fillet provides generous portions for multiple meals or traditional preparations. Perfect for making a large batch of machaca to enjoy throughout the week, or for family gatherings where you want to serve authentic Mexican seafood.
Chef's Tip: For authentic machaca, poach the raw skate fillet with aromatics, shred the meat along its natural grain, then dry it slowly. The unique texture of wild-caught skate makes it ideal for this traditional preparation. For grilled or pan-seared preparations, the mild flavor pairs beautifully with garlic, lime, and chile.
