How to cook fish roe

This is my post for #freewriters Friday prompt slow rotation hosted by @mariannewest

I was having trouble thinking about how to write a post about slow rotation. Then my husband came in with a piece of smoked fish and the little light bulb in my head went off so here are my thoughts.

The yellow thing in my husband's hand is the female eggs, the male eggs are white. I like both but like the yellow a little better, my husband likes the white roe best.

After washing the roe, it is time to salt and pepper them, that is all the seasonings they need. Then take your fork and poke holes in them. If you do not do this they will blow up and splatter grease everywhere, it hurts when it lands on you. I roll them in flour with a little cornmeal in it.

Get your grease or oil hot, to test it drop a small wooden match in it, when it lights, the grease is ready
As soon as you drop one in the grease start poking more holes in it. Let them cook until the underside is light brown then give them a slow rotation to cook the other side.

You should never use paper towels when frying anything, place what you fry onto a rack. I place the rack over a cast-iron skillet to catch the drippings. This is just a little side note when you fry fish, it is done when it floats.
