    Prep   -   (45 min (15 min if wings are ready))

  7. In a well seasoned skillet heat Oil.

  9. In a sauce pan, melt Butter and fry stirring until it is lightly browned, then stir in Bell Pepper and fry stirring for a minute or so.
  10. Stir in Capers for 30 seconds or so, then the Shallots and Lemon Juice. Season with Salt and Pepper. Stir in Parsley.
  11. Serve wings hot, with sauce spooned over. Set Lemon Wedges or half slices on the side.
NOTES:
  1. Skate Wings:   As skinless fillets these should weigh about 1/2 pound each. Here in Los Angeles skate wings are quite large, 10-1/2 x 9 inch triangles weighing just over 1-1/2 pounds and each will yield a 1 pound thick fillet. The thin side is meaty enough to add another 3 ounces per wing of usable meat. Wings in your region may be different. For details see our Skate Wing page.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch
