Fish eggs

So this may be a funny question but do any of you guys pick out the fish eggs during filleting a crappie and eat them too? A buddy recently convinced me to try fried crappie eggs. Let me just say this.... It tasted like crappie! Who would of thunk it?

they go good with grits.

I catfish with em

They also go well with catfish as in bait.

I have tried em a few times and they are too fishy for my taste as mine were not as mild flavored as the fillet. Maybe as they mature and get bloody they taste stronger? Last few years I have fed mine to my pet Black Vulture, Stinky. He had no complaints.
