Thread: Crappie Eggs Who eat's em

Surprised at the responses that most do not like them. People that eat with me will not even try them. Fried golden brown can't beat 'em. They just taste fishy with texture. Oh well, LOL!

You would have thought I gave her her leg back, She hobbled into the kitchen, grabbed a skillet, some butter and cornmeal. Popped some bread into the toaster, made herself an afternoon snack. Probably the most food she had eaten in 6 months.

Later that evening my sister called called and asked what those things were in the refrigerator. I told her and she was not a happy camper. About that time mom came into the kitchen and started a fresh batch. Sister then asked if I was gonna be home later, I said yes. When she dropped by she said that was the most food she had seen mom eat in months, I told her about the quick snack when I brought them over. She was incredulous. Took mom 4 days to get thru the 24 sacks of eggs. To this day. I will always remember how happy she was having something she liked to eat in her last spring. So even if you cant stomach them, if you know someone that does, make their day.

What a great story!

Even if was born/raised in "that state north" of you, it's a great story.

Lot of my fishing peeps eat them. I eat them on occasion depending on who is doing the cooking.

Well if they taste like mullet roe then I would like em, Ive never tried crappie roe but I guess they could be just as good if they were cooked right and fresh. I know I sure love the yellow roe from mullet

Yall can have the guts....I'll just stick with the fillets.
