How to Cook Mullet Roe

Mullet roe is a dish best served warm, with a light cream sauce dressing. This dish is delicate, so it is best to merge the textures by parboiling them before you saute. When sauteing, it's best to use a medium-high heat so that the outside becomes crispy and the inside is soft.
