Eating a small dog is easier than a small sea robin. Easier to get some meat out of it.

You definately eat the wings, although I'm sure if you travel far enough into some exotic overseas destinations you'll find skate eyeball pudding and dogfish liver pate'. Anyone ever had monkfish liver? I had it at a sushi bar once. The chef wouldn't tell me what it was until after I tried it. Never again.

Anyway, first thing's first. Use gloves and you'll be fine with those spines. I have a special serated knife that I use for taking the wings off. Then I bring out excalibur, sword of the ancients, which is my go-to fluke knife. Basically a straight, boning type filet knife and I work the skin off the wing. Then put the two wings on ice or in the fridge and some say they taste even better the 2nd or 3rd day.

Remember guys, take a pic of your garbage and email it to me and I'll send you a sticker. garbageman@garbagefish.com

Thanks for the report.
