Shad Roe (Wipe the roe with a bit of wet)

Wipe the roe with a bit of wet cloth and dry it well. Brush over with olive oil or with melted butter and broil about five minutes or until brown on each side. It should be well cooked and when done the little grain-like eggs will be a light brown color. If pink, it should be cooked longer. For a small family it is better to cook the roe in salted water, and the next day broil it as above, or split it and dip in flour and brown it in hot pork fat.
