Roe, fish eggs, last week I was cleaning fish loaded with eggs. Northern pike, and perch, are the eggs good to eat, and how would you serve them?

Used to eat fish eggs as a kid. Grandmother would flour dust and fry. OK,not great. Real caviar, very salty, very fishy. Not for me at all.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

When I was a child, every year my grandmother would serve what everyone told me was "poor man's caviar" at Christmas.
My grandmother was a little poor and a little eccentric, which I really didn't understand at a young age. I loved her poor man's caviar though, on crackers, little toasts, etc. I thought it was COOL eating caviar!
I was in my 20's when I mentioned that caviar to my mother. She laughed, then turned my world upside down with the truth.
It was canned chopped black olives, that my grandmother would further mince, then serve in a bowl with a tiny spoon.
I still feel duped.

I recall my sister telling us she used the crust/heel of a bread loaf turned in with peanut butter in front of my nephew, her son. He was a bit shocked, but a wiser if sadder lad.

Lots of folks make ikura here and it is not bad at all. The eggs are run through a screen to separate them and brined for about 15 minutes in a very cold, salty brine.
Different salmon produce very different results. Chum (dog, or now keta) produce the biggest eggs and are generally the most prized. Pinks are a bit behind them, then kings, while reds and silvers bring up the rear.
Chum eggs are a bit too big for my taste. There are lots of other ways they are used, too.
Ikura mixed in with eggs and scrambled is pretty good.

We make ikura pretty much every year. As mentioned, use a screen to separate the eggs, and pouring some boiling water over the skein helps shrink it and separate the eggs. We use salt and lemon juice. Salt to taste and let it sit overnight in the fridge.
We mostly eat them on crackers or toasted bagels. I'll also top an omelet with them.

I have been known to spit salmon eggs out at the other workers during eggtake. They get grossed out when I put them in my mouth and then they REALLY get grossed out when they get shot out at them. Good times!
Does that count?

I'll have to ask, as I've never dined on them, how do they taste? Like salty little bb's filled with aquarium water. Not my thing! Mike

There is a LOT of fat in them, lots of protein, and they do not have to be salty. And judging by the size description he has had seriously shrunken ones or they were immature and those always lack flavor...
