Sometimes, when we buy an undisturbed perch at a fish store, we get caviar as a bonus at home when cleaning. Involuntarily the question arises: "What to do with it?". We answer: “Salt it!” And today we will offer you some interesting recipes.
At the very beginning, I would like to inform you that the perch is a predatory fish, therefore, the preparation of dishes from it requires special attention. In particular, the use of perch fillet and / or caviar without prior heat treatment threatens diphyllobothriasis. At your own risk, you can pickle perch spawn in the same way as, for example, salted caviar of trout, but he cared, as they say, and God saves.
