I had herring milts for tea today.?!
Answers: who knows what that is??
Milt is the seminal fluid of fish, mollusks, and certain other water-dwelling animals who reproduce by spraying this fluid, which contains the sperm, onto roe (fish eggs).
The term also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm. Herring milt, in particular, is used in Russian cuisine. It is pickled the same way as the rest of the fish, but eaten separately, sometimes combined with pickled herring roe.
I don't think I want to know from the sound of it!
OK what is it seriously??? O I know what Herring is, but Milt, I don't know. And how is it prepared??? Make is sound appealing & you might change my mind..........I hope it's not anything like Pig ears and rutabagas!
thats nice for you dear... what the hell are herring milts???!!!!
Is it like rollmop?
its the roe of the herring (eggs) sounds horrid but actually theyre nice
Some kind of fish...
dont know- but i like herring...
Well, a herring is a type of fish. Milt is...well...the sperm of fish. Felamles lay eggs and then the males spray them with milt. If I am reading your question right, you had herring sperm for tea today. A bit salty was it???
I bought some herring milts once and discovered they were the 'reproductive organs of fish containing reproductive fluid'. Nice.
Decided not to go ahead and eat them.
By the way you referred to herring milts for tea, you sound British. As a Brit myself I know what tea is and I suppose herring milts other than being obviously a fish is a type of dish perhaps like fish cakes. Its been a long time since I lived in England so I'm not as familiar with all of the British cuisine as I use to be.
sounds fishy
MIlts are the male version of caviar. Caviar is from female fish. Milt is from male fish.
How was the milt prepared for your tea? Over toast?
Herring milts are the reprductive organs of the herring. Herring sperm if you understand that better.
For tea????
