Benefits of Skate> The flesh and innards (liver) of skate contain over 75% polyunsaturated fatty acids, with EPA and DHA accounting for over 35%. EPA and DHA are substances that inhibit the development of coronary heart disease and thrombosis, and DHA is known as a major component of retinal and brain tissue. Skate is rich in free amino acids (such as taurine), which have significant preventive effects against stroke, vascular diseases, and heart failure. Skate is effective for arthritis, rheumatism, neuralgia, and bronchial issues, and is said to be particularly effective for colds. Skate soup (innard soup) removes waste from the intestines, cleansing them, suppressing gastritis, detoxifying alcohol (hangover relief), and its sticky mucus is considered a stamina-boosting food with good efficacy.
