Yesterday I went to a local store and bought 2 fish (IDE, leuciscus idus). I found eggs in both of them but they were completely different (look picture below). Why there is such difference? I have only one explanation - the light eggs are ready for spawn but the dark eggs aren't ready yet. The color of fish were a bit different and that makes me think that they were caught in different places and that could explain my theory. Any other ideas?

I think you are correct. The orange colored eggs are mature and near ready for spawn while the maroon colored eggs are not mature and thus appear less formed as well.

I don't know but both side by side on a dinner plate doesn't do much for my ability to eat pretty much anything..
That does not look appetizing. .
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Fish eggs in general are very strongly flavored, often that flavor is fishy. I love them, but most don't.

Put me in the catagory of "I like them!". My grandmother is the one that got me started on them when I was a kid.

My grandma made them too. Bluegill eggs.
That said I don't deep fry or fry fish anymore. I bake everything. Once you deep fry or fry you negate the healthy benefits. I know, I know, it tastes so good but there are ways to make it just as good baking.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Growing up, fish eggs were a delicacy in our house. These days I get em' from bluegills, but used to eat catfish eggs if the fish wasn't very large......they get pretty strong from a bigger fish.
My oldest loves them also. Passing on the tradition I guess. Don't imagine there are too many kids in his class that have eaten them.
Frying fish eggs is about like throwing live ordnance in a campfire......

I had fried crappie eggs one time and it was positively the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. I thought the texture was worse then the flavor, like eating fried snot It just goes to show, not everything fried tastes good...at least not to me.

BG (or any of the sunfish family), YP, Crappie, catfish/bullhead (those are more rubbery to me). You have to make sure they are cooked 100%. Not cooked in the center =

I love raw salmon eggs. Something about that rush of sweet fishiness when they pop in your mouth.

Heh, this thread has turned into a "tell me, dear chef..." thread Well, actually I don't eat them but my wife does. Sure, these eggs are eaten baked and before it I have to clean them. She tasted both eggs and found out that orange eggs are much better.
