les Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I dont know whether it is just a boy thing, early onset senile dementia, to many Killi eggs or bordome but you can be the judge. Today whilst sitting by the Killi tanks picking over the mops I thought Caviar MMMM and decided to see what killi eggs tast like. It was like two voices, left shoulder "Go on you know you want to" right shoulder " you do that, your nuts". Well as usual left shoulder won and some how one poped in to my mouth. I was expecting that burst of flavour as caviar hits the tonge and excites the taste buds, but nothing happend no tast at all:((. So thinking this was just becouse I had only put one egg in my mouth I thought to my self ,left shoulder:devil: "Self you have started somthing hear try half a spoon full maby that will work" Right shoulder " Realy !". so placing all the eggs I had collected, Half a teaspoon in my mouth and still no taste. Well i was more than a little disapointed but at least I know the only market for Killi eggs will be for people wanting to hatch them, not eat them. I have tried many diferent fish eggs most comercialy produced and some not:giggle:. has any one else tried none conventioneal fish eggs??

Sarah Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Oh gosh, Les! Only you, only you... my sides hurt! And no, I have never thought to eat fish eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 You'd probably get a lot more flavor if you put a bunch of newly hatched BBS on a tiny bit of lettuce and a drop of mayo! I see a new specialty cuisine developing through you Les! Aquaria-gastronomica!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've tried BBS (which was by ACCIDENT), nasty, nasty stuff. Worse than VE, definitely not as bad as a crashed grindal worm culture. Also accidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've never wanted to eat eggs, but I have been tempted to hatch the eggs at the sushi bar :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowfish Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Please describe the accident... I can't even imagine how that happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I actually don't remember in detail. Something along the lines of knocking it over, and managing to get a decent amount in my mouth, all down my shirt, and over the floor. Fun times.

les Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 OK Paul That just tasted like salty Mayonaise with crunchy Lettuce, It didnt tast shrimpy at all. Sarah what are you doing eating crashed grindel worm cultures? And washing it down with viniger eels?? Bordome, early onset, it cant be a boy thing???

Bettarazzi Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Les the eggs need to be cured in salt first. I thought everyone knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowfish Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 gross, the way MW culture smells after a week I wouldnt want to get that NEAR my face... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ok. Cured in salt. Have you got a recipe Razzi? I am willing to give it another go and take one for the team . Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I don't have a recipe but Wikipedia says: whole mature ovaries are removed from the fish, washed with water, salted with natural sea salt, dried under the sun, and sealed in melted beeswax You're probably not willing to sacrifice the whole fish and probably not skilled enough to perform an ovarectomy safely. So maybe cure the killie roe in sausage casing? If you're really serious about this. If you succeed you could change the face of the killie hobby forever. Think about it. If killies had a commercial value as food there'll be killie roe curing factories popping up all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
