Fish roe

[MoCarp]

The mullet roe has a cheese like quality…the prep process with rum/flame takes the fishyness away…it’s salty smoky flavor depending on how it’s served, daikon radish, spicy mayo….it’s pricy for a reason

What I was thinking. If that stuff in any way, shape, or form resembles caviar, you can keep that mess. Blech!

Shad roe, from American or hickory shad is supposed to be good.  Whitefish roe also.  Never had any myself.  In the spring when the shad were running in the Columbia river, people would keep shad just for the roe, same for whitefish when they were on their late winter spawning run.

Sushi bars will usually have salmon roe, I've seen it, but that is something I never tried, could not bring myself to do it.  Quite a few of the sushi rolls are garnished with herring roe, fairly tasteless but they add some crunchy texture, kind of like sesame seeds.  

Salmon roe, like most is salty fishy deliciousness.  I've eaten trout eggs when they give them up to hand totally fresh - also good.

At the very last minute, as your fish fillet is on its second side and ready to take off the heat, throw the roe on the griddle or in the pan for 30 to 60 seconds. Serve the fish with the roe, parsley, lemon, and salt as a garnish.

Just for FW, fish eggs are pretty good , " If cooked right"!  But then again a bunch of spider sautéed with some butter and caun seasoning might be good too.

My daughter and I once spent an entire afternoon/evening making caviar from White bass eggs.   Found instructions online, it was quite a process.  

It ended up tasting like Salt flavored jello..... Absolutely disgusting.

Have tried Crappie and walleye egg-sacks battered and fried too.   Not very tasty at all IMO.   Y'all can have it 👍 Enjoy.

I don't think I will ever add fish eggs to my diet.

We tried white perch roe this spring. It was fine. Texture was a little bit off-putting and really had little flavor. So probably would not do that again, at least not more than another one or two times with different preparations..

Looks like Bill Gates' Lunch platter. Or at least for us peasants😅.
