Hello: wanted to know if the mullet fish has the roe in it. Can one use salmon roe instead? does it taste different. Where can i get mullet roe?
Reply :- We used to get Mullet Roe from a local fish market. I also make with catfish roe or which ever roe is available during different seasons. Each roe has its own taste but the texture is mostly similar. |

Comment by Heidi Dulay on 13 October 2009 06:57AM I just bought some halibut roe from my Farmer's Market in Berkeley. I've never cooked roe before, just eaten it raw in sushi. But it looked so fresh and I know it is highly nutritious. I'll try your recipe, Dahlia. Thanks much. Reply :- Sure Heidi. Do try and let me know how you liked it. |
