The milts can be eaten cooked or raw – our pack recommends cooking them for 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, the roe should pop out from inside the membrane when ready. It is so delicate that some people need to use a spoon to remove the milts. Others just take it right out with their fingers! Be careful, though – leave them on the heat for too long, and they will become rubbery, and you will lose that sweet flavour. These Milts are a great source of protein which is essential for building muscle and keeping your energy levels up. Additionally, there is a high concentration of important vitamins like D and B12 and omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce pain caused by inflammation, depression and may even help prevent heart disease and cancer.
