Title: eating fish eggs you caught
Post by: Elk whack master on May 12, 2014, 10:35:55 PM: Is there any safety reason one should not eat them?
I am planning on throwing them in the fryer with the fish. My daughter caught a bullhead catfish and it had eggs and she wants to eat em. I don't see why not as long as they are cooked. :dunno:

Last year I fried eggs from pinks I caught. Didn't like it fried up in a pan, but I'll def eat them.
