Hey, I'm still a punk
Shari, would you kindly divulge your source for identifing the roe you ate. I am not familiar with any smelt that commonly resides off Baja. Also,
smelt eggs are extremely small. Thanks.

Definitely not surf smelt eggs, not even close. Surf smelt southernmost range is Long Beach, Calif.
Nor is it grunion eggs.

She probably thinks it's Smelt because it smelt like Smelt.
Shari, (outhouse references aside) how's your sense of smelt, oops I meant smell

I don't know about the rest of you guys (and gals) but I ain't eating any raw fish or eggs or smelts or whatever! I prefer my food cooked at all
times, thank you very much. Besides which, how old do thing that stuff was? You sure it's not Ambergris from whales?

I was told by some very knowledgeable fishermen that there were hoardes of smelt in the area last week....these are teeny weeny little succulent eggs
that were super fresh...I am an egg oficianado and know fresh ones when I see, smell and taste them. so there.

So Shari, did you eat that whole thing? Just curious, as it looks to be a meal for more than one (if you like that stuff).Does it taste like caviar?
Already salted ....:barf sorry)

The last time I fished in your area we saw tons of jacksmelt. They were schooling heavily near the kelp and often with the mackerel. My nine year old
wouldn't let me leave the area as it was 2-3 fish per cast on yarn flies.

My apologies to Shari....et al.
Originally, I thought you were holding a clump of sea hare eggs pretending to eat them for a little nomad community spoof.
But after reviewing the picture you posted it is very apparent that I messed up on the ID of those eggs. They are not Aplaysia eggs as first thought.
I can see now they are individual pearls connected by filaments. Most likely jacksmelt egg cluster. Their peak egg production typically is early
summer and you're within their habitat range. I'm sure they love the kelp beds out front of your casa.
Besides, I've sampled sea spaghetti many times and quite frankly they stink!!!
Enjoy your delicious treat, looks like all I'm eating for dinner tonight is words. Ha.

thank you Wiles...yep that spagetti is yucky, even for MY tastes but these little suckers are soooo delicioso and they last a long time refridgerated
so Sally, I still have a bit left over. I had never seen these before here but here are lots of jacksmelt in the area now full of roe. I think it's
funny how people don't believe me...like when the earthquakes started and I was reporting live...most of you thought I was freakin DING DONG... NOT!

Me too. I was thinkin' Surf Smelt. I did have to look it up because of the size of the egges. I was surprised. I then realized that the strands bind
them together to form that big mass. You go girl!

Aren't we all? Actually from the standpoint of seeing and eating(no more) and
disecting and hanging around the likes of Rocky Strong and other knowledgable experts, I know a little. It's a BIG subject! I know enough that I choke
every time I think of Mexicos' sharks' sad state of affairs. It is a travesty in the making. The Norma law will do nada.
It's wonderful to hear your child is involved and interested in Sharks. Especially since you are an active diving family. Good on you/her!
