Soft Cod Roe

[Kazal]

My OH asked me to get some soft cod roe for his lunch. I bought a tin and said how do I heat them, he replied that as a child he had them on toast and to just put them on slices of toast and under the grill. I did this on a low heat so as not to burn the toast but he said they were nearly cold. So I wondered how other people heat them.

I used to find the same problem with sardines on toast. (i.e. they weren't hot enough). My solution was to reach for the frying pan. A quick bit of googling suggests that might also be the way forward for you:

Mix them into your beaten egg before scrambling - serve on toast.

[ummmm]

Do them separately to the toast.

I put the toast under the grill just until the bread starts to dry out but has no colour, then put the roes on and back under the grill. they are also lovely fried.

I love this from the chippy, fried in batter.

sharon, isn’t that hard roe?

[-SharonA-]

Is it?? I really did not know there was a difference.

Had to look it up. It seems hard roe is, as expected, fish eggs; whilst soft roe is milt, which is the seminal fluid of fish. Strange the things that are considered food.

Have to say that the pictures on the tins don't seem to look like the Wikipedia info. Too lumpy. Maybe someone has been editing the wiki with a sense of humour.

Dust the roe lightly with flour then pan fry in a little oil until golden brown.
arrange them onto hot buttered toast.
add some ketchup if you wish and white pepper.
Enjoy!
