Fish
Roe
Roe of Yellowfin is egg mass or milt—cooked, cured, or specialty-prepared by species. Smell must be clean and marine. Gentle heat prevents chalky dryness. Keep yellowfin roe iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave a rare centre on quality loins for steaks and sashimi). Searing, sashimi, poke, and steaks suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame firm moderate-fat red flesh.
