I've found differing opinions on the internet!
Caught a few small brookies today and I was wondering if anyone has eaten their roe/eggs like caviar. To the best of my understanding freshwater fish should never be eaten raw (duh…) but sturgeon eggs are a delicacy.. sooo…
Has anyone eaten these? How do you prepare them?
Hopefully the minks I saw along the river enjoyed them as I tossed em back.
Thanks in advance!

yes, they are edible. don’t eat them raw. google how caviar is prepared.

I like it on toasted cuts of baguette with a little balsamic, or a thin layer over cream cheese on a toasted rye bagel.
I know other people who like to keep the capsule in place and get them really cold, dust them in flour, throw them in the freezer for a few minutes, egg wash and breadcrumb, and deep fry them.
Yeah, I just had a wonderful savory creme brulee in San Fran that was topped with trout roe, but I can’t tell you how the roe was prepped.
People these days, you seriously cut open a female trout for an image and just released her?
Man I don’t really keep trout to eat but catching my limit on brooks and cooking over a fire in the backcountry was some of the best fish I’ve ever had
10/10 thought this trout ate corn on the cob for dinner
Looks like that little lady ate an even smaller little guy!
