Perch Roe

[pickardjw]

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, 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 excellent.

Haven't seen a recipe like that yet, I like it. Seems more palatable than deep frying the whole thing and eating it like a hush puppy

How did yours turn out and what have you used it on the most? Google image search shows some pretty awesome looking results.

Grated on past, eggs, etc. It was sort of like a funky, salty cheese. I've also done cured, smoked and dried chicken egg yolks. So amazing.

Every time I read a thread about people eating Roe, I get a mind picture of a fishing partner sitting in my boat chowing down on the bait right out of the jar
