Roe season is just beginning to get going. All the above applies except roe is too good to ever throw away. If you break a sack just save and mix with a chicken egg to cook and it won't even pop. When I have a lot of roe i save it all and package and label as to if broken, if it is use it with chicken eggs. Now is time to start with "coon" perch and pickrel roe, soon the other fish will start building the roe to full just before spawning. Here where it's saltwater I get lots of different roe. Rockfish, shad, herring, hickorys, even bunkers have good roe. Then later the speckled trout & croaker. If ya have a late winter wreck trip the black bass have good roe too. Then in may and early june if going fresh water fishing the catfish have roe, only it is kinda coarse textured and I personlly prefer the fine roe. AND when frying to a "golden" color the best thing to use is bacon grease, of course.
