SKATE, CHICORY AND ANCHOVY

When poached and allowed to grow cold, skate sets beautifully into a firm but giving fish whose natural structure shreds perfectly for our salad-making purposes.

Instructions

To make your poaching broth mix all the ingredients together. Bring it up to the boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer.
Slip your skate wing into the poaching pan and cook for approximately 10 minutes (check that the flesh comes away from the bone), then turn off the heat and allow to cool in the liquor.
When cold remove the skate from the liquor and pull the flesh from the bone. It should come away in easy strips.
Now make your dressing: either whiz all the ingredients in a food processor or pound them in a mortar with a pestle.
Bring together the skate, the salad ingredients and the anchovy dressing (caution—there may be too much, so do not add it all at once) and toss.
