Texas restaurants that serve skate

[Kent Wang]

A few years ago, I had skate as part of the tasting menu at The Driskill, here in Austin. I have developed a lust for it ever since. I have seen it offered for sale at various fishmongers, but before tackling cooking it I think I would like try it out at a few more restaurants. What restaurants in Texas feature a well-prempared skate dish?

Lanny's Alta Cucina Mexicana in Ft Worth had an excellent version of skate as part of a tasting menu a while back. You would need to call to see if they have it on the menu for when your going to be there. I recommend Lanny's to anyone as being one of the best restaurants in the DFW. I have no problem paying $60-80 per person for the food, no beverage. It is that good for me. Of course this is a personal assesment. And I have to drive 4 hours to do that also.

Let's see ... if you can find Shawn Cirkiel still cooking in Austin, check with him. When he was at Bistro Jean-Luc he often had raie au beurre noisette, and it was just dandy.

Also, consult w/Quality Seafood or CM ... they should be able to lay hold of some for you. I believe Julia has a recipe, as likely does Pepin. They are very straightforward to prepare ... it's just getting them off the ray and skinned that's the deal breaker.

A lot of restaurants will not use skate because it is spoils so quickly. I have sold it at my restaurant and had good luck with it, give me a call and I may run it as a special again. I have all my seafood Fed ex'd so I only need a couple of day notice, Plus my place is alot less than 400 miles (47 from Austin)

Mark, I will be taking you up on your offer soon. Sounds like a good opportunity to check out a few Hill Country wineries at the same time, too. Last time I went through Marble Falls, I was on my way to Fall Creek Winery. I also read the glowing review of your restaurant in the Austin Chronicle. I'll be in touch.
