I have around 20oz of cod roe fresh from the double caught last night. I'll pop it in the fridge and the first person to come and collect it can have it free of charge. Send me a PM and please no timewasters. I'll put a pic up later and show you just how much is there.
 
Sean, tie it up in a muslin or clean tea towel bring to the boil, and simmer for 25 mins and let it cool. delish on buttered bread with a sprinkling of salt.:)
 
My dad has just been telling me the same thing. He boils it for 15 mins, lets it cool down and cuts slices and fry's them quickly..........."beautiful" were his words:)

Shame that nobody collected from the 3 forums I advertised it on, had a couple of timewasters. I even tried to give it to the cat but she's a picky bugger, anyway it's binned.
 
I honestly would have thought people would have been biting your arm off for this…

Did they never sell cod roe in chippies up here? Where I grew up in London, battered roe and chips used to be a real favourite. I've not seen it for years now though. Actually, until I moved up here it never really occurred to me that different chippies in different parts of the country would have different things on the menu. I can't remember ever having seen my favourites skate or rock in a North East chippie and it's only quite recently that you've able to get peas in lots of places down south.

Anyway, shame I never saw this earlier - I'd have loved to have tried it again.
 
Yorkio, I thought you would have found a pie & licquor shop by now, lol, or at least some jellied eels. I know what you mean though, it was too far for me :(
 
"Manzies" (?) in Peckham - every other thursday, giro, pie mash and liquor Mmmmmmmm

Double double, with a good splash of chilli vinegar! Food of the gods. Oh, yes…

Weirdly enough, I actually bought some jellied eels from Tesco's up at Kingston Park a couple of weeks ago. Not as nice as I remembered, even with a bit of vinegar and some white pepper. They were horrible actually – I only really got them because I was so amazed to see them. (Stewed eels with liquor and mash is very fine indeed though.) When I asked the girl at the fish counter who'd been buying them, she just said, "Southerners."
