Fish
Roe
Roe of Whiting is egg mass or milt—cooked, cured, or specialty-prepared by species. Smell must be clean and marine. Gentle heat prevents chalky dryness. Keep whiting roe iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque . Frying, steaming, pies, and gentle baking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame delicate thin fillet.
