Where can one get fresh roe around here.
I vaguely remember that there was fresh roe being sold on the docks in Steveston.
Is that right?
Anywhere else?
Thanks!

Where do you live??
If around Maple Ridge, Bruce's Market near the Albion Ferry sometimes has them/ You will need to phone to confirm.

There is already a waiting list at Bruces Market.

Or know someone that fishes for coho during the fall but does not use the roe. I get my supplies from him for free. :)

I live in New West,
I do have a bunch of coho roe from last season in the freezer but I'd like to get more fresh roe to experiment with different curing techniques.
Plus I only have coho roe, it would be nice to have a variety.
Well now that I think about it I have 5-6 freezer bags of roe, that's not a whole lot.

I have also herd that roe right now is hard to come by because of the lack of any openings for the commercial fleet.

A,I will let you know when I get some . I usually start getting it about now, but the first 120 lbs is for me. ;D ;D

WOW Jim do you think you have enough. Randy at Hatch Matchers just got some pro-cured chum roe in and it is almost all gone.

Holly Mary, the mother of Harry,
Where do you get all that roe?
Are you running a private salmon hatchery!? ;D :D
-
just my winter /fall supply of roe, from last year.
-
must fish alot ;D
-
Do you save it all up and then cure it? It looks like you got it all at once. I like to cure mine within 12 hours of removing it from fish.
-
How do you save your roe for so long without curing it? does it hold well?
-
I buy it bulk/ fresh, then cure it right away. vacuum pack, or jar it then freeze it.
-
any curing recipes would be much appreciated. i know some think they should never share their secrets but why not. it will get others out of "your spot" sooner (theoretically).
i have always butchered my roe unfortunately but love fishing good roe. there is nothing like it.

I have tried dozens of recipe's, store bought and professional pre made roe. So far, my favorite is the pautzke's fire cure. Remember, you have to start with fresh, blood free roe. I butterfly the skein, then cut it into semi small chunks. I'll then layer it in a jar with liberally applied amounts of cure. Let stand for several hours. When it gets really juicy pour a little off and put in fridge. Turn jar upside down frequently to allow juices to get all the way through. Do this for the most part of 24-36 hours. Then lay out on paper towels in a cool place to harden to your liking. sprinkle borax on them to handle then cut down to fishable chunks. put them back in jar with borax and pack full and top off with borax. you're then good to go.
