Eating crappie eggs...

I was watching some crappie/cooking videos today and came across a couple where the fellow cooked the crappie eggs = says they're great.
I recall back when I was a youngun we ate mullet a lot (where I lived on the gulf coast north of Keaton Beach).
And, I recall we used to eat mullet roe. The yellow mullet roe cooked up like cornbread and I didn't care for that but,
the white mullet roe cooked up real good = I could deal with that.....

EDIT --> just looked up difference in white roe and yellow roe =>
If you live in an area such as Florida, where mullet are harvested privately and commercially, you will have the option of purchasing white or yellow roe during the mullet's spawning season. The white roe is not roe at all but milt, the male equivalent. It's also a delicacy, but is less rich than the yellow or true roe. Mullet roe consists of thousands of fine eggs contained in an oblong membrane, rather like a sausage in its casing. There are many ways to cook it, but pan-frying is traditional.

I just wonder why I've never considered cooking up any crappie roe, always toss em....
Think I'm gonna have to fry up some this coming season......

Come down to Okeechobee...they're full of eggs now

My pops fried up some speck roe when I was a kid and neither of us cared for it

White/yellow mullet roe brings back some tasty memories. We used to have them every year. I loved those mullet smoked also.

I've eatin them but wouldn't call them great.

Sooo you prefer the male reproductive items eh:Rofl:Rofl?? Splains alot!:biggrin Trying to keep it family friendly here! Do you buds down at the VFW know about this?

LOL Mike ! !
I had a comment about that too but figured I'd get shot down for it so just left it out etc, etc, etc .....

I was thinking that someone on here would say "Yeah we eat em all the time" but no one yet (recently).......

I'll keep some occasionally if I happen to not bust the sac when filleting. I think it's "ok" but the texture is kinda weird...like eating fried butter. Lol

I am going to pass! LOL

Great, most fish too. Always fork- pierce the sac if you're breading/frying...it will pop/explode. Tried Mullet milt sacks this past Spring=not a fan.

Fur's philosophy: Catch enough fish, throw ALL the innards away.

As a native I've had my share of mullet roe, yellow or some call it red. When fried it is dry and takes a lot of ketchup. Always heard white roe didn't get done (fully cooked). Maybe the Phantom can confirm that? Don't know about any other roe, but caviar comes from sturgeon roe I think. Never had that either.

:puke period, ain't got nothing else to say about it or I'd probably be banned from this site:biggrin

I cooked some roe this year and fed it to the wife's cousin (she was down from New York) along with the speck fillets, she went on and on about it until she found out what it was.
I ate some and it was OK, but I'm a fat boy and will eat about anything.

Oh man:banghead this is the hardest post in a long time to keep family friendly. I think Phantom was trying to set me up. Just would be sooo easy to take this off the deep end. Then Flycaster tells him to be careful what he puts in his mouth:banghead:banghead nother setup. Its a conspiracy!
