Cured Mullet Roe is very common in Asia but hardly ever eaten in the US. They're caught in the SE during Fall/Winter season and shipped overseas where it's processed. Mullet roe is made by curing with salt, then pressed and dehydrated until the desired firmness is achieved. Mullet roe is considered a delicacy in Taiwan as well as in Japan. In the Mediterranean, it's called Bottarga.

![[Three major delicacies in Japan] How to make karasumi! From preparation to drying [Mullet egg]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eK_PItXy-2Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Makes me wonder how much expensive mullet roe I’ve fed to other fish using mullet for bait
I live in Taiwan for over 8 years, and I can tell you mullet karasumi is heavenly delicious! I really love Taiwan culture and I'm from Malaysia!
I'm from US and I lived in Taiwan almost 5 years. I really enjoyed it too. I wish it wasn't so far away, since it's too far to visit there often anymore. Lot's of Chinese people in US these days though, so I can still use my Mandarin! ;-)
That is most certainly true. I used to buy it every year at Tsukiji in Tokyo, but then I realized it was better to purchase it whenever I have a layover in Taipei :)
Holy moly I've been waiting for this video for ages!
Hey man! I know right? Finally had sometime to really put the time into finishing it up. Will be pumping a few more out. Come visit Charlotte
Ahahah
Lol
This video makes me feel happy! Mullet roe is awesome. Im a commercial fisherman from Florida. I catch mullet every fall. Then gets shipped to Italy and Asia. Awesome video and very informative. Thank you.
Nice! Love to catch a ride some day
Interesting meal. Thanks for sharing.
I really want to try this! Looks very interesting!
VERY well done video, thank you.
Fascinating. And beautifully described.
Thank you so much, I've been looking through many videos looking for detailed instructions for the home cook and your one was the most informative and detailed.. I am in the process and wish I had seen your video a week ago, I think I've really oversalted my batch that's is drying at the moment.. Ah well, I know what to do next time..
Excellent karasumi tutorial. Thanks.
Glad you liked it
This is brilliant. Respect.
Man that looks awesome!!!!!
It looks so good thanks for sharing
Once many years ago, the people I was with bought some mullet for dinner. They were filleted and fried-delish. Some of the fish were roe filled and the roe sacks were fried in butter till cooked and eaten that way.
Enjoyed this video. The roe looks beautiful, I'd like to try it one day. I've only ever had lumpfish roe, but I do enjoy that.
Very well explained. During the winter, when the big mullets are cought I will try to make it. Tnx fot the vid ❤❤❤
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
Thats awesome! Ate alot of fried mullet roe as a child with the fish fried, loved it fried.....Very tasty fried!
Best video on the net for making this
I just made roe with eggs from a white suckerfish, also ate the fish as well, fish was super boney but actually really good, the roe tasted just like chicken fried rice, baked both of them. yummy!
whoa the torch method was nuts seeing like the individual eggs popping. this looks delicious
learned something new. I want to try it
I am intrigued
looks good, I love bottarga pasta
Thanks for the video, Can't wait to get back home to florida and try this! Mullet run here i come
In Italy we grate it over pasta with lemon zest and olive oil🇮🇹🍋
That sounds amazing
how's it taste?
I can send it to for 50$ each pair replay if u want
Sounds so aromatic and salty. Umami bomb
in sardegna senza limone invece
My mouth is watering
Perfect video. Thank you very much
yes my favorite mullet roe
Welcome back! I have been checking your channel from time to time to see if I missed notifications. LOL
Haha thank you so much for the support, its tough to out them out routinely. Do you fish?
not sure why this popped up in my recommended but I learned something new, good stuff
Thanks
Me as well. Lol i ran across a fb pic and was like what is this and i came to CZcams to get more info.
I love mullet roe!! Always order them from Taiwan!!
love your video ❤️
very good video! tks!
It is super nice . Used to have some when it was not in fashion and costs peanuts . Still having them but have to pay way more .
So freaking good!!!!
Amazing! Subscribed.
It looks so delicious. Many greetings from Germany : - )
Wow! A new video!!! Awesome!
Thanks
Thanks for checking back
Sev.yrs ago I remember relatives in the island after catching mullet, the eggs found in their tummy were sauteed in garlic, onion, tomatoes & eaten over steamed rice.
Very common along the gulf coast, and its that time of year!!!
Always loved Fish Roe since i was a Child!🤜🏿🤛🏿😎😋
Nice job...very cool! Thank you for this! (from a guy who really enjoys sushi/sashimi)
In Taiwan, after it's finish a week of drying, eating require the roe to be cover with Kao Liang Wine...which is like 58degree. Afterward, it's lighten up with a torch. By doing that, you get that Kao Liang flavor and that scorch texture roe. But it's not done yet. It usually accompany with a slice of daikon, apple or japanese pear
Love your Chanel
I ate this as a child, my mom would simply steam and add soy sauce which results in a nice flaky fish with a soft chew to it.
I haven't eaten this for over 15 years, it was extremely cheap back then, one of the cheapest fish you can find.
We ate the egg sacs with only soy sauce after steaming them, it was good as it was but I'd love to try it this way soon!
I've never tried that, I imagine that'd be awesome.
for me the best way to cook it is . breaded,or corn meal deep fry. nice and crunchy,with a little hot souse on the side
Yes
75 DOLLARS TELL ME WHERE TO FISH BROOOOOO!!😂😂
You catch mullet with a cast net from the beach/docks all you need is a cast net and to know how to use it.
saudi arabia those are common af and the eggs are usually disposed of with the other organs
I live in MS, catch mullet like this all the time on accident tend to through them back, or cut them up for bait
That Bait fish all in the water in the gulf. Literally thow a cast net anywhere
Remember that $75 is the retail price for finished product overseas since thats where the markets are.
There are a lot of different cost incurred along the way from the fish was catched to a finished product to marketing to exporting and to retail.
You can also use a bead heat the tip of the knife and insert it into the plastic bead that’s what we used to cut the row it works great and you can pick the red beads up in any Walmart or tackle store
This is fascinating! I had this come up as a suggestion from Amazon and wanted to know what it was like. I'm going to give it a try. Thank you for this interesting video.
Glad it was helpful!
@@SushiWithDan Update - I ordered some for my birthday and just tried it today. We tried it alone, on freshly made duck liver pate, and on toast, with and without fresh squeezed lemon juice. We weren't expecting it to be as delicate a flavor, and yet it was also quite strong. Didn't care for it on the pate, but loved it on the rest, and alone. We'll try on steak (maybe tuna) tartar and other ways later. A little goes a long way, so we have plenty for later. Thanks again!
Unique and interesting recipe! Great video! Like! 💙💙❤️ 👌👌👌
Man I love them! I like mind slightly pan seared.
Gooooood stuff
Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed the video a lot. I was fishing with my son today and some of the anglers were catching mullet. My son showed some interest so I was doing some research and found your vid.
Glad you enjoyed it. Try smoked mullet if you catch some.
Надо будет попробовать
I'd not mind trying this although I dislike salty food. Glad to see you back man. It's been a long time. welcome back :D
Killer Bee thanks man, the past year has just been crazy schedule wise. I relocated and new job and life just happens. Will be posting more
@@SushiWithDan Glad to hear that. Hope all is good. Good luck on everything you do man!
I grew up in extreme SW Georgia and we use to net mullet in the apalacicola area of the FL panhandle when I was growing up. Mullet is awesome fried, but I never cared for the fried roe (because you fry everything in the south) because it had a texture like sand and it seemed to grow in your mouth when you chewed it.
This one thing i always buy when i visit Taiwan.
After salting it for an hour, and washing the salt away, you can fry it just like shad roe and it is excellent.
Nice!
Small round seat belt cutter works great and works on rabbits too.
Great tip!
In Greece we call it Αυγοτάραχο (Avgotaracho). The best comes from Messolonghi.
We have this fish in South Carolina for cheap and its so good. Our season starts in October for Mullet.
Great, wish I could get some
You taught me how to make an awesome product.. Mullet I thought was worthless. Wow that looked good.
mullet by itself cooked is surprisingly delicious
@@sangfong206 yes mullet fillets are good prepared with salt pepper cornmeal and hot grease. Roe can be cooked the same way.
You thought mullet was worthless? Mini commercial fishermen make their living off of them
I was born and raised in Florida I eat mullet we make a dip out of it down there and we don't waste good whiskey either cool video good info👍
So you mean I could literally make this myself and have a cool fishy gold. That’s kinda cool.
This stuff is everywhere here in the south. Deep fried is the way to go. Some folks eat the white roe....I pass.
Battered and fried is the way to go. Can't cook them to long or to short. Got to be done just right. Lol. No white roe here either. I will say eating mullet and roe is an acquired taste.
@@iwalkincircles2960 fresh fried mullet can't be beat. Smoked is excellent also. Oysters having hard time. Shrimp have been very nice lately.
I eat bream and bass roe.... Love it
I've heard people say they are good never tried them. They say a specks roe is good. Yes battered and fried. Got to scrape the black stuff off the insides of the fish tho.
Hi I love Both Roe
Thanks for the video. Try the Brazilian Botarga Gold, very nice
Will do, thanks!
after this process, a giant fish will be born
....a giant zombie fish 😳
Lol
Never tried it and I live South Florida. I have been feeding my mullet to snook and redfish. I will be hunt for some gold next mullet run.
La bottarga yummy 😋
Dang $75?! That’s crazy for mullet roe. Must be nice living on Gulf and catching these for free lol.
Haha that's way the commercial guys work so hard
I just threw six of them away. Should have ate them. oh well
@@AndrewD624 Awws dang. Sorry to hear that. This us why it's always a good idea to try to things. I've learned alot from bizarre foods
Absolutely nobody around here eats this. They only started separating the roe from the mullet at Wild Ocean in Titusville and even then, everyone fries it from what I hear. There are barely any videos on CZcams about this, and when there are, it is usually frequented by Japanese and other Asians.
Fresh fried roe is good too.🤜🏿🤛🏿😎
We do this with white fish, leave them in the sun and it's really good!
I’m from South Louisiana and wee grew up eating mullet! The roe was once considered “Cajun Caviar”
I thought bowfin was Cajun caviar? I eee
Lol. Shoepique caviar! Mullet were so heavily fished for their roe, it put a big hurt in their population down here
Kosher large flake salt works great, doesn't make the item too salty once cleaned. Fine grain salt you gotta watch it.
One of my favourite delicacies. I’ve never made it myself though, thanks for the video 👍🏼
Wow!they say if you learn something everyday you are doing more than many others I’ve been fishing for over 40 years and no one has ever showed me or taught me that part of the fish ,although I worked with a large amount of Vietnamese people and they used to tell me Americans don’t eat the good parts of the fish they catch
This has been a traditional Taiwanese cuisine!
Down here in south Florida we deep fry ours in cornmeal . u should try very delicious
Oh yeah, this Ol’ Cracker love some fried roe!
That sounds delicious
Yea and redfish roe is good too,
@@duaneholcomb8408 it sure is! Heck, I like most roes fried up good with a little salt and pepper! Bream, Bluegill, bass, crappie, etc… Was raised to believe… waste not, want not!👍🏻👍🏻
@@jcdesignsandboat-works8290 yea we used to catch catfish my mother love the roe. I'm a true old fla, boy. Southern born and raised. Love some good swamp cabbage too,,,
Where I grew up, on Volga river in Russia, we used to eat a special kind of freshwater fish, salted and dried. The part I liked the most was caviar inside and since I moved out I couldn't find anything like it. Then on my trip to Japan I came across Japanese dried mullet roe and it tasted exactly like that, my childhood's favourite delicacy 😀
It's a pity people in Western Europe and US doesn't appreciate the taste and it's hard to buy it here.
Childhood food is comfort food. Did see this at Costco recently.
Nice vdo
The dried roe can be cut into pieces and stored in mustard oil for a longer period.
Gimingaw kog kaon ani. Kalami aning gisaw samot na ang bihod... Akong fav. Fish
We have it in Sardinia also
Food from the past: Avgotaraho is the Greek version. Bottarga. Its produced in Mesolongi Greece
That looks good! I like to brine mine and smoke it, what i call Cortez caviar, I get the same response from my friends, but it's really good, enjoyed the video, thanks, Clive.
Right on, that's a great idea, will try that. I bet the smoky aroma mellows out the strong fishy taste.
We call those gold bars here where I live, I brine the roe in 50/50 salt and brown sugar for 4 hours to overnight then smoke in wood smoke (plum wood is my favorite) for 1 or 2 hours when cooled (I prefer a day in the fridge for the flavors to develop.) it has a texture like butter with a skin, usually eaten spread on toast or crackers very tasty.
Brown sugar, good idea, going to try brine next time.
its very common in Sardinia too! (in italy)
Just bought a house on the myakka and netted a gulf mullet full of eggs. After eating tobiko last night I wondered if these had food value and sure enough!
I am Montagnard Jarai indigenous I haven’t seen fish eggs like these before it’s look delicious
yummm...
I use to work with a guy named Dan who always had an amazing skill as a sushi chef. Hope he’s doing well!
well well well...we meet again. I use to know a guy named Matt who drove a nice Lexus. Hope he's doing well.
I am a Taiwanese. I just bought 20pcs of this mullet roe this season (TTL$586 for L2 size, just last week).
Level 1 size=5 pcs per 600g= USD$76
Level 2 size=4pcs per 600g=$90
Level 3 size=3pcs per 600g=$124
Level 4&5(max)..I did not ask.
600g=21.16 oz
I threw the egg cup, now I'm going to try to make this recipe, see how I'm doing
I would chop them up and add to soups, rice, or pasta dishes 🙂
Thanks for the vid. Im just wondering if would be possible to make them instead of sun dryied be smoked. Have you ever tryied? Tnx again! ❤❤
I catch them often
make more videoooss
Working on it!
ça donne envie 👍
We also prepar it in south France, we call it "poutargue". It is expensive too
How do you serve it?
@@SushiWithDan I can't eat it personally but I've seen people eating it simply with bread or bread and butter
@@SushiWithDan Eggs are dryed though
I am learning not for mullet roe but next year white bass roe.
