Perch Roe
« on: December 14, 2022, 03:05:25 PM »
What does everyone do with perch roe sacks? Still have some in the freezer from this year and already thinking ahead to next. I've seen recipes but also heard they're pretty terrible to eat. Anyone have any good uses for them?

Have not tried perch roe, but breaded and fried crappie and bluegill roe is really good. Don't see why perch wouldn't be?

This was where I read that it's pretty rough. Funny read either way.

Oh yeah, I've seen the recipe's before. I'm a pretty adventurous eater but...not sure I'm this adventurous. Unless someone has a "try this, you won't regret it" experience.

Wonder if they'd be good crawfish bait?

Perch roe tastes like really bland fish. It's not good or bad.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

A friend of my dads and my great grandma use to eat them. I tried them ONCE. Instantly spit it out. Might have even threw up but I can recall for sure.

At the very least it would make great crab/crawfish bait.

When you get those big ol’ fat females, open them up and see that perfect, tightly wrapped package of roe I think instinctively that I should do something with it. Whether that’s a good idea or not is another subject. They look like fat uncooked sausages.

Walleye and perch roe can be excellent. Every spring I fry up walleye roe. What I do is scrape it out of the skein into a bowl of salty water. I soak them to preserve, then before eating you rinse off the salt. I mix with chicken eggs, flour, basil and garlic and fry them like a pancake. It's the strangest thing but you eat it with butter and syrup and it's like french toast.
