Choosing fresh fish eggs is an important first step. Fresh fish eggs have a bright color and a distinctive sea aroma. Avoid fish eggs that have a fishy smell or a faded color. Buy fish eggs from reliable sources, such as fish markets or supermarkets with a good reputation.

"Before cooking, make sure to clean the fish eggs well. Rinse them under running water to remove dirt and mucus. Use a fine sieve to prevent the fish eggs from breaking. Some types of fish eggs need to be soaked in cold water for a few minutes to remove the salty taste or fishy odor."

Frying: Use a sufficient amount of oil and make sure the oil is hot. Add seasonings such as salt, pepper, and chopped garlic to enhance the flavor. Steaming: Place the fish eggs on a heat-resistant container and steam for 10-15 minutes. Add sliced scallions, ginger, and soy sauce to add flavor.

Baking: Apply a little olive oil and favorite spices such as paprika powder, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven at a temperature of 180°C for 15-20 minutes. Stir-frying: Sauté fish eggs with a little oil and spices such as garlic, chili, and oyster sauce. Mix with vegetables or other ingredients for a more complex dish.

Salad: Mix the fish eggs with fresh vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Add dressing such as vinaigrette or lemon sauce. Sushi and Sashimi: Fish eggs are often used in sushi and sashimi. Add them on top of sushi rice and wrap with nori.

Do Not Cook Too Long: Fish eggs have a smooth texture and can easily break if cooked for too long. Cook them at the right time. Experiment with Seasonings: Do not hesitate to try various seasonings and spices such as turmeric, coriander, and lime leaves. Source: Diadona.id
