Fish
Roe
Roe of Yellowtail is egg mass or milt—cooked, cured, or specialty-prepared by species. Smell must be clean and marine. Gentle heat prevents chalky dryness. Keep yellowtail roe iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave rare when quality allows for seared or raw service). Sashimi, tataki, and grilled collars suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame buttery firm white-pink flesh.
