Perch Roe

[Southbuffalojay]

Got a freezer bag full of them from last season. Thoughts on if they're still good to pan fry?

[lowaccord66]

The eggs are tricky, the rot faster.  If theres any freezer burn U might pass.  When they go bad they are real bad!

[Southbuffalojay]

Thank you. Might try a quick beer batter bread coating and deep fryer instead and see how that tastes.

[lowaccord66]

You shpuld know pretty quick if they are bad when they are thawed.

 If they are freezer burnt they will not be of good quality ,  give them a shot you might be able to pick through them to get some good ones

Might make a tasty side dish for "Tag Soup" !

How do you make fish sticks out of them? I beer battered them into patties and they were delicious.  Can I use a sausage stuff for the roe and make like an summer roe egg sausage breakfast stick?

perch roe is ok, and I've eaten them many times, but I don't believe I would go through the trouble of trying to stuff them into casings. Besides you would need a couple gallons just to make it worth the effort.  Then you've got an awful cleanup job in your kitchen.   NOPE  not me

jay  when i said fish sticks i ment  throw the  perch eggs in the  gut bucket and  buy some fish sticks instead ........it's what we use to do in the old days

[Iceman1899]

Iv rolled them around the fry pan before with some butter salt and pepper. I though they tasted pritty good its more of the texture that turns me off

No thanks - not for me ..... it helps out my garden every year though

Whatever - some of us can't afford to do that all the time.
On to serious responses please.

They can be a little gritty, but done right they taste good. My deer blood pudding is to die for. I don't even tell anyone what it is and they love it.

We definitely have a different opinion of "taste good" .....
