Learn to identify the herring roe

I do not know anyone who would not like a herring. I've been to the pink salmon indifferent due to its specific taste. But to the salted herring is not indifferent. Especially I love her calf.

I was recently on the market and hoped to buy herring caviar. If I may eat a herring without roe, then, I will not calm down your appetite and enjoyed the taste of this wonderful fish.

Seller seemed pleasant woman who can be trusted. But when I returned home and cut the belly, just awful disappointed.

The saleswoman assured me that gives me caviar, it is not the first day of trading in fish and disassembled. And it actually turned out to be a male with milk.

I have friends in this time came to visit, and one of them explained literally on the fingers, how to distinguish male from female and generally choose a herring caviar. It appears this is very simple.

And by the way, exactly in the same way define female salmon. But in our area there is no salmon with caviar. A salted herring fish available in each store. So, tell me how to understand what the herring - a female and she with caviar.

Well, first the belly should be firm. Milt little softer, if feel, but I do not really understand the difference between them by touch. Therefore determined on other grounds.

Judge of the general form. The quality and taste can only be a herring with a thick back, pay attention to the gills - they should be dark red, and not brown, the very bird - quite elastic, and eyes - pink, with it, the more intensely pink, the more salt.

The size or length of the herring also suggests the possible presence of eggs. In small it can not be.

Back in females, it can be said that almost a straight line, but the males seem more humpback.

Abdomen females more rounded, bigger and seemingly even freezes. If it contains eggs, the swelling of the abdomen falls mostly in the area closer to the head. And the male's belly line goes without hang smoother.

Muzzle females rounded devochkovaya;), and males - more stretched, and even more pointed. Not a fact, but read somewhere, even the eyes of females with caviar is always somewhat unclear. But sometimes it's perhaps a sign of staleness, so 100% I can not say.

Herring roe is fresher if it has been quite a bit of time with the spawning period. Then it will be a fish is not fresh. A herring deteriorates fairly quickly after opening the package, just 2-3 days.

When I went to buy the market, I asked to sell for a little more expensive, but that when altered opened a new container (a barrel), if not already completed in the open or nearly sold out. At the second attempt, I bought the same herring roe and very tasty, fresh. I hope that will be useful these tips.

Thank you for your Husky;)
