If I could give this recipe 10 stars, I would. Don't let the ingredients throw you off because you can make substitutions with amazing results. I used halibut instead of skate and wrapped the "packages" in parchment. You can put them together several hours in advance, put them on a cookie sheet in the fridge and just pop them in the oven when your guests arrive. I have served this several times to very discriminating guests with lots of compliments every time.
