A very healthy population right there. That's what you get for a responsible fishing and harvesting
Lovely video!
Here in Denmark, canned cod roe is a very common occurrence on the lunch table, so the idea of extending it to other fish isn't foreign to me.
I recently caught my first brown sea trout (with a net, none the less), and it had a good 100 grammes of the finest, orange roe. Ate it as caviar. It was good!
Looks eggcellent!
Big Pollacks joe 🤣. Excellent video. Nature is the best.
Nice video Joe! I know in Italy they do “bottarga” from grey mullet roe, which is basically air-aged mullet roe which is then used in various pasta recipes. They refer to it as “gold of the sea” so I can easily believe it tasted delicious ✌️
Ciao. Exactly here,in Italy especially in Sardinia, mullet eggs like those in the video, fully ripe, are used to make Bottarga. you have to put them in salt for some time first. the cost of a good bottarga can exceed 100 euros per kg. Depending on the drying time you get a hard product with an initially rubbery consistency, which then becomes very hard over time. Bottarga is eaten sliced in salads, when it is softer, but above all grated on pasta with garlic and oil. For years I have been making bottarga at home with the ripe eggs of all types of fish I catch, I am a spearfisher, and in addition to mullet roe, also those of sea bass or bluefish are very good.
Thank you for this video Joe 👍
My pleasure!
Hey Joe, beginner spearfisher here. Love your videos! I was hoping you could educate me on the trick you did in this video. When you want to ride the current out, and then back again later on. When is it you start swimming out related to the time of the tides? Is it some hours before low tide? And then ride the current back when it is turning for the high tide?
It completely depends on the area you are hunting. The movement of water parallel to the coastline doesn’t really correspond consistently to high and low water times on the beach. Three ways to find out. Learn how to use a tidal stream atlas and get one for your area. Or get a boating app which tells you. Or every time you dive your area make a note of the horizontal movement of water relative to high and low water times at the nearest beach. I hope this helps a bit!
@@JoePkSpearfishing thank you! Really appreciate the feedback, it really helps!
Thanks for the video !!!!!
My pleasure!
Top video again Joe nice shot on the first pollock. Don't fancy the roe though. Thanks as always for sharing your adventures with us.
Cheers Nigel
Well done jo nice fish 👍👍👍
Yes laa all the best from Liverpool.
Amazing love ye shows absolutely awesome
Yes Ben thanks for the comment sir!
Lovely Camera Work in this video Joe. You captured the beauty of the fish shoals perfectly and a wicked stone shot!
Enjoyed that. I usually eat roe if I get a fish with it in. Haven't tried Mullet roe. They aren't so common up here in Scotland as they are in the southwest of England, sadly.
Thank you Joe for this rough recipe,I use to put the rough in eggs then flour and fry it with the eggs sack which made it a bit chewy.Mullets are underated fish and they are very versatile for cooking.
Sure, I've never tried that before. In the south of Spain people make the same recipe with anemones, which is got a very similar texture I guess and once it's cooked, it doesn't have any urticant particules so it's very safe. They call them ortiguillas. I'm gonna try your recipe next time I go spearfishin. Thanks mate!
What a nice shot Joe!! Not suffering for the capture and a very good piece to take home. Lovely fishing day!
Thanks =)
Select fish offal can be a magical door into a world of flavour. Personal favourite is red mullet liver. That is intense.
Fascinating!
A great video as always. I've experienced the mullet this time last year it was magical. Just wish we had some decent weather/viz in Dorset at the weekend for me to get out and find them again.
Thanks Neil, hopefully soon weather will change...
I eat cod roe fried in the pan like you did joe with chilli garlic then spread on toast 😋 👌
did Annabelle get the bestest mouthful? Reassuring to see healthy numbers of prime mullet going about their business. Nice informative vid once again👍🏻
Thanks Mr Wyness, yes of course!
Thanks Mr Wyness, yes of course!
Lovely video Joe, iv not tried to cook with roe as of yet so it was interesting to see! Might just have to give it a go in the future 👍
Cool vid lad 👌
Great one as always Joe. Thumbs up.
Couldn’t help but notice that you used egg wash to cook eggs 😂.
I have a similar recipe, leave the membrane on the eggs, flour and slowly cook it in butter in a pan
I bet your misses refused to go near you until you brushed your teeth at least 3 times 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice 1 bud. Im based near Cape and its been messy for weeks, havent been out for over month. Need my fix boi!!!😕
Great video as allways.Thx for sharing it with us 👌😁
I’m going to try your recipe it looks amazing. It’s also nice to use simply use the roe as a pasta dressing just toast it in a pan and then dress the pasta with it and some olive oil.
😂😂😂 you actually did do mullet roe !! Would try this if it didn’t involve eating the rest of the mullet
Haha! they definitely do vary in taste, this one were damn good though.
Nothing better than a new JOE PK vid with my morning coffee! What thickness of suit are you wearing in Nov, Joe?
Cheers Jack. I wear 7mm through winter!
Awesome video as always! Yours in particular make me really want to take a good shore dive.
looking forward to see your forage videos. those are fun as well. i like the cooking vids.
Glad you like them!
Another great video, love the catch and cook style and I will defo be trying the roe next time, always fancied making my own botarga
Some incredibly special experiences in testing conditions Captain! Loved watching your encounter with all those Mullet, what a special dive! Great way to cook the roe too! I will try that and report back!
Ps: what's going on with the car window from around 7 mins?!
You know it’s spearfishing season when you’re spending hours rewatching Joe PK’s back catalogue while you’re waiting for his latest video to come out lol.
You mention tidal flow Joe, any good site you can recommend? I spend time on Google Earth obviously and Navionics is brilliant but I’ve never got as far as working out the direction of flow before I go, because my entry/exit point is always the same. I want to do some drift dives for the first time and exit further down the coast, so knowing the direction of the tide in advance is a must. Cheers.
👍👍
We eat a lot of mullet in Florida. I personally prefer the milt or white roe but the best part of a mullet is the gizzard. You have to open it up and wash out the mud, then fry it. it's hard to get people to try it but it's the best part of the fish.
I find this hard to believe!!! But I'm gonna have to try it now...
@@JoePkSpearfishing There are recipes on RUclips. If you try the white roe, be sure you have a spatter shield for your frying pan. They can pop dangerously!
Got a two day spear fishing course coming up looking forward to getting into this world.. finding hard to learn about currents as they scare me at the moment don’t know the best place to find information & explantions on RUclips about them
My wife is Indonesian and apart from the guts she eats everything. I often get the eggs in the fish, we’ll try it next time and let you know what we think.
Hey Cap do you eat the mullet gizzard? These are good too! Firm texture but delicious
Never done or heard of it being done but I guess there's a first time for everything!!!
Beautiful fish joe, I might try the fish eggs next time a bad a grey mullet.
I will let you know what i think.
You should!
I note that you are not using your Cressi fast for this shore dive. What is your choice for shore diving locally? Reel or not reel? I have always enjoyed fish roe. Full of nutrients.
Hi Joe. As ever great video.
Unlike bass, I’ve tended to find mullet at high water. Are these pre-winter congregations at all times of tide?
They are at all states of tide 👍
5:30
Apparently they are playing fish roulette..
See that! I rubbed right on the tip..
DUDE. The speargun tip. You are rubbing his belly and his....... Can't take you guys anywhere without being embarrassed.
Why didn't you shoot the bass, are they out of season this time of the year in the UK?
Not out of season yet, I decided the big pollock and a mullet would be enough 😊
@@JoePkSpearfishing Is the Pollock you have in the UK "oily"? The ones we used to catch in the US were greasy/oily and just weren't great.
@@BurhanMuntasser No I'm sure these in the UK are a different species. The spelling is actually Pollack, and they are not oily at all.
Where You been ?
my father hates the roe. i like eating the eggs.
A very healthy population right there. That's what you get for a responsible fishing and harvesting
