Anyone heard of this before ?"?????

[RUGER]

Guy at work said his dad was cleaning crappie and was first cutting them open and pulling out the eggs.

He then battered and deep fried them along with the fillets.

He said the egg "sack" can't be busted open and the eggs need to be "real yellow" and then just fry them up.

He said you would throw the fillets away and eat just the eggs, they are that good.

Never heard of it before???
Has anyone ?

Mullet roe is popular (mostly with the old folks) down on the coast.

Here is one:

...As a side note i got in trouble as a kid when I scared the crap out of my mom. I put a roe on my finger and came running into the house acting like I had a severe finger injury. :)

Frying the crappie egg sacks was one of my Dad's favorite foods! I tried it once and can still remember almost 40 years later that it wasn't for me.

Ive cooked plentyof crappie eggs and will say they are good with some sauce but the fish is better to me.The eggs are sort of an appetizer.

My mom use to save them and fry them up....that was 40 or 50 years ago. I remember eating them but don't remember anything special about the taste.

My Dad always saved the eggs and Mother cooked them. I remember eating them as well as the tail of the fish.
