Mom & I made a nice little haul of morels today in the woods.
So - on to supper!! Most recipes I found for catfish roe said to dip them in beaten eggs and season with salt/pepper, fry until golden brown. I did that - beat the eggs, added salt/pepper, beat them some more, and added the roe to coat. Tossed them in the pan with bacon fat, and put some morels into the remainder of the egg mixture, coated, and put them in the pan too. When it was all done, I topped the plate with fresh picked wild onion and garlic chives. Man oh MAN was that good! Nick caught another channel catfish tonight, here's hoping that one's full of roe, too!

Have you tried it any other ways? If you have a chance, I wish you would try Hunter Angler Gardner's recipe for caviar. Seems all you do it soak the soak, then soak the eggs in saltwater and bam done. Can be stored for a couple weeks and isn't too salty.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if pond or channel cats would make for tasty caviar or if it isn't a clean enough fish being a bottom feeder to make edible caviar. I love the stuff on breakfast bagels or scrambled eggs!
Wanted to make sure I get follow up comment emails!
ReplyDeleteHi Cory, I've only tried frying it up with a few variations so far - but definitely looking forward to finding more this summer to try that out! :)
ReplyDeleteI am from south louisiana, we have eaten catfish eggs for Many years the best way is to remove the from the sack and boil... (zatarans crawfish boil seasoning is best). We eat is as a rice substitute for many different meals... Delicious! !!
