Fish
Roe
Roe of Whitebait is egg mass or milt—cooked, cured, or specialty-prepared by species. Smell must be clean and marine. Gentle heat prevents chalky dryness. Keep whitebait roe iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Deep-frying as a crisp whole snack suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame tender bone-in morsel.
