FOR THE MUSSEL TARTARE
Portion the skate by removing the flesh from the bone and cutting into four. Reserve in the fridge.

Fry the skate in a hot pan with a little oil. At the same time cook the spinach with the clove of garlic and the butter. Season.

For the mussel tartare: Steam the mussels in a dash of wine in a tightly covered pan until they open. Turn out of the pan and allow to cool a little.
Meanwhile blanch the onions briefly in boiling water then drain and refresh in cold water. Pat dry.
Remove the mussels from their shells and place in a bowl with their finely strained juices.
Add the capers, onion, gherkin, tomato and parsley to the nage. Adjust the seasoning again with salt and lemon juice, then add to the mussels with their liquid. heat through, but do not boil.
