we have been snagging paddle fish for a couple of weeks now and a few of the bigger ones have had a lot of roe in them. I found a recipe somewhere on the net that said to put the roe through a strainer to separate the eggs. Then it said to soak them in water and pickling salt. 1 and 1/8th cup of the salt for ever quart of water. Soak for one half day then drain and store in jars. we tried a little. I guess it's an aquired taste. I think I'm going to stick with the rule that if it looks funky.... it's sure to be funky. Possum may taste like pumpkin pie and I'll never know.
