So I'm asking you again are those products bad for people that will eat one of those fish eventually? No, I'm not talking about the ones that the fisherman will catch from his own eggs. I'm talking about other fish that are eating cured eggs, (I've even seen cured eggs in plastic containers left for good, right next to the river, when a small rain will put them in the water) from all other angles that can get their hooks set quick enough. Honest answer please.

One thing I do is when it comes to fishing my eggs, when I thaw them pending the fishery I’ll leave them in a warm environment (70-80 degrees) for 24-48 hours and force restart the fermentation process. I do this for more of the warm water fisheries.
