Fish
Roe
Sailfish roe is the egg mass—hard or soft—for pan-frying, salting or specialty use. Rich marine flavour. Cook gently; high heat toughens. Use only impeccably fresh roe. Lemon and pepper often suffice. Save clean trimmings for stock, crumbs or compound butters when they suit the ingredient.
