Fish
Roe
Roe of Sturgeon is egg mass or milt—cooked, cured, or specialty-prepared by species. Smell must be clean and marine. Gentle heat prevents chalky dryness. Keep sturgeon roe iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Smoking, grilling steaks, and confit suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense almost boneless texture.
