Fresh roe
« on: July 23, 2008, 09:17:20 PM »
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.

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.

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

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.
