Plan is to coat with peanut oil, salt pepper. Smoke offset around 250 degrees. I'll update when I get smoking,

Wow, very cool. That spawn  looks interesting. This is way out of my league. I know nothing of preparing fresh fish. Looking forward to following this.

Dried the fish off with paper towels, cut spits in the sides, brushed with peanut oil, Himalayan salt and some seafood rub

Set up the Performer to smoke using the snake method. A couple of handfuls of lump fired up in the chimney and tossed on the beginning part of the fuse. Foil under the fish on the charcoal grate. looking to smoke around 250 degrees.

One hour in the spawn was ready.  Incredible.  Creamy.  Smokey.  Sort Of like a smoked poached egg yolk.

That looks great and yummy. Glad to see more fish around here. Just grilled some local salmon  that my friend  caught the other day. Forgot to ask what type  of salmon but it was good.  I didn't smoke the roe though. Just added salt n pepper and wrapped it in foil.

Dude there’s probable a couple  thousand tiny little fish eggs in the sac.  Have you ever seen caviar or the tiny fish eggs they put on sushi? Same stuff.

Oh okay, I didn't realize they were in a sac like that. I know/knew what roe is guess I've just never seen it in a sac like that, only feeling a little stupid right now [emoji51]

Man you don't know what you're missing. The best parts  of almost any fish  other than the belly  are the roe, head and eyes. If you eat chicken eggs then you shouldn't have any problem eating roe. It's very nutty and creamy.

The first pic fish head looks scary but the video clip cooked fish without the head look so good.

Jules V. - that looks good too.
