Help - Recipe for Single Cured Eggs
« on: July 21, 2014, 02:49:45 PM »
Hi Guys..

A while back I fished with a man who cured single salmon eggs individually.    The eggs would go on a hook nicely and we used to trout fish with them.   He kept telling me that he would always supply me with eggs as long as I came over with some wine when I asked for some....

So anyway.. I went to go visit him and he no longer lives there.     The nice thing is if you put them on a hook they wouldn't pop.   

I would love it if anyone could tell me how to make these.    Thanks..

I don't know how to cure this eggs, but I used to buy them in Berry's tackle. American company D&G makes them. Unfortunately this year I didn't see them in local stores, just across the border.

No man...lol. 

They were eggs.   You could squeeze them and stuff would come out but it was  not watery

When I used roe it was borax or salt but never singles. I vaguely recall one of my brothers making singles by blanching them in a sieve submersed in salted, boiling water for 10 seconds or so then letting them dry. After that it's all a blur but I think he froze them (in borax?). I remember not all turned out - there was some finessing - yet the majority did and fished well, not leaking but keeping form for multiple casts. I recently asked him but either his memory ails him or it's remaining his secret. Might be worth looking into.

Cold water cure, than I store them in saturated sea salt solution in the freezer. Still have about a half a gallon left after curing them 2 years ago. Chum
 eggs are best.
 They store perfectly for a bunch of years in a freezer.
