Fish
Roe
Roe of Turbot is egg mass or milt—cooked, cured, or specialty-prepared by species. Smell must be clean and marine. Gentle heat prevents chalky dryness. Keep turbot roe iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque . Poaching, bone-in roasting, and pan-searing suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame firm sweet white flesh.
