Dried cod roe
« on: December 29, 2010, 10:31:52 am »
I have a source of fresh cod roe. It is sold still in its own "bag". I've tried eating it raw and really disliked the taste. I suspect that dried roe would be delicious! I've seen dried roe in shops but it's both expensive and heavily salted. I wonder if it's possible to dry a delicate product like this without the use of salt. I've made dried fish as a kid - the fish is cured in salt for 5-7 days before drying. I think the same process would work for roe, but I want to avoid the salt. Any suggestions?

So the roe are salted?
You can get unsalted fresh roe?

Dry them without salt. I dried salmon without salt under 105 degress F. Its really good.

The roe is fresh - unsalted. You used a dehydrator? My oven has a dehydrator mode. I think it operates at 104F. My concern is that the roe will go bad at 104F if not previously cured with salt.

They shouldn't go bad. I used a dehydrator yeah. One of those plug in curcular ones. Lex's dehydrator can be used too.

I dried many things at the temp with no problem.
