Skate wing with white butter sauce

Last time I went to Montpellier to visit my mum, she made this recipe for me. She knows for a fact that this is my favourite fish. This was also the only way as a child to make me eat something else than a fish finger full of ketchup. No bones and this is melting in your mouth. This sauce has a divine taste as well and match perfectly with skate wing.

I have no idea if it is common to eat this fish in your home country. In France, this is something usual. However in Switzerland that’s impossible to find. I went to a French supermarket, one hour driving from my place. Let me know how it is like for you and if you ever tasted it.
