What kind of fish is this?
While having lunch in Paris a little while back, my wife had a fish that I believe was called "aier", but given my wonderful memory, I'm not certain of the consonant, nor the order of the 3 vowels.
The fish appeared to look line any other cut of perch or snapper, but instead of bones, had a very flexible, thin cartilage on the bottom, sort of resembling a sea fan. The meat and cartilage were white. I sort of think it might be a ray or skate, but I've never seen one of those on a plate, so wouldn't have a clue.
Any ideas? I sure hope I came close on the spelling of the word, but I can't seem to find it in a basic dictionary, so maybe it's not even close.
