For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've heard this story, does sound like a bit of fiction, but a here's a nice fact for you, might even put you off eating Skate, if you look at the underside of the fish, it looks just like a miniture unborn human baby, head, two eyes, small legs, mouth two nostril holes, no protruburences though. I believe, though I stand to be corrected, that this is why you can't buy a whole one in the Fishmongers,
I'm sure this man in the pub must have a bike,as he seems to get around a lot, i've heard a variation on the story,that a whole skate are not allowed to be brought ashore without first having the male and female genitalia removed out at sea, as they so resemble human privet parts.
Can a fisherman or fishmonger confirm this, or is it a load of cods wallop ?
