What do you do on a rainy and windy Saturday in Tuntutuliak?

 Got Roe? Got Time? Willing to try something new? Make something out of salmon roe, why not; this is something a southern boy does every week.


When I clean the silver salmon the other day, two of them had large egg sacks (roe) in them. I saved the roe, for what reason I have no idea. Some people in Delta Junction cured them and made bait, I heard of people cooking them in different ways, what could I do with mine. I figured I’d give them away or throw them out.

Google is a great thing, I typed in cooking salmon eggs and up popped making caviar. I laughed and said to myself no way that has to be too difficult. After reading how to do it, I decided it was not too difficult, just tedious and time consuming; can you think of a better way to spend a rainy-windy Saturday in the busk of Alaska than making caviar?

Roe - in sack
I think it turned out okay; I will let others try it today. It was not on my bucket list, but it was a new experience and a much better way to spend a rainy-windy Saturday than napping, watching TV, or going into school and working. I needed the break from school and this provided an excellent opportunity. No champagne to go with it since I live in a dry village, ice tea, grade juice, or sparkling cider will have to do. Oh, I did watch, on and off, the Georgia Dawgs win their opener. Go Dawgs Go Braves
