Curing Eggs
EVERYTIME I GO SALMON FISHING IN THE RIVERS I ALWAYS BRING WITH ME FRESH CURED SALMON EGGS I HAVE EITHER BOUGHT (WHICH I DON'T CARE FOR BECAUSE THEY AREN'T THE FRESHEST) OR I HAVE CURED FROM A FISH I HAVE CAUGHT FROM A PAST FISHING TRIP. NOW THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO CURE EGGS, FROM COMMERCIAL CURES TO CURES THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF; IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY YOU CAN JUST USE 20 MULE TEAM BORAX, OR YOU CAN BUY A COMMERCIAL CURE, OR IF YOU DO HAVE SOME MONEY TO SPEND YOU CAN ALWAYS PURCHASE A BOOK ABOUT EGG CURES; THE ONLY BOOK I HAVE FOUND ON EGG CURES IS A BOOK " EGG CURES PROVEN RECIPES AND TECHNIQUES"; WRITTEN BY SCOTT HAUGEN. THIS IS THE MOST COMPLETE BOOK WITH OVER 20 RECIPES! FROM VERY SIMPLE CURES TO MORE COMPLEX RECIPES. I HAVE TRIED ABOUT 10 RECIPES SO FAR AND I MUST SAY THEY HAVE ALL YEILDED MORE SUCCESS ON THE RIVER THAN I WOULD'VE EVER IMAGINED. DURING THE FISHING SEASON I ALWAYS KEEP THIS BOOK; WHERE I CAN FIND IT WHEN I CURE MY EGGS FROM A SUCCESSFUL FISHING TRIP FOR MY NEXT OUTING ON THE RIVER. I MUST SAY THAT THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS FISHERMAN. When curing eggs, I always be sure to let them sit on some kind of a rack to get some of the juices out so that they become a little tough so they will stay on the hook. Then when they are to my desired toughness I always put them in a jar with 20 Mule Team Borax and layer them; borax then eggs and repeat this until the jar is almost full.
