Gracie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Blimey Ray, a hundred quid on a little pot of black goey fish eggs, yuk , I think I'd rather have a KFC........then I suppose it comes down to how one was raised and how one likes to spend one's money lol. Seriously, i have never tasted it, I just can't stand the thought of putting it in my mouth, I like the Champers idea though Just make sure you save some for Carole, hope she is feeling better Grace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayandCarole Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Got a bit of a taste for it while working in Russia and Kazakhstan Grace, where its a lot cheaper, anyway it is only a Christmas treat, make sure we hide it from the kids tho Carole just completed her long course of nasty antibiotics so the nausea is slowly improving and she is up and about a bit again so fingers crossed for a good Christmas and thanks for asking Ray & Carole 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Herring Roe on Toast - sounds horrendous but funnily enough I used to enjoy it when Mum made it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it! - but only the soft roes - 'herring milts' You can still get these at the fishmonger in Northgate Street in Great Yarmouth. Their kippers are something special, along with a range of fresh fish, much of it 'longshore' caught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Ray, In our Fish n Chip shops, where those items are sold, are thicker and much longer, oh and the BP nice n spicey too. I have tried for years to find out who makes them, but without success. The Chippy would not tell me! Grrrrrr!! Iain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetAnne Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Cucumber Smelts.... Little fish you fried that mildly tasted of cucumber. No idea what they called if thats not the right name for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I didn't know you could eat them! Good for pike fishing though. Not sure you can get caviar to stay on the hook back in the day when you had to take eels home my mum used to make jellied eels out of them. When they were boiling the stink was terrible. Taste good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The only fish I know of that tastes vaguely of cucumber is the Garfish, though there may be others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
