Transfer to a clean and dry glass jar. Pour in vegetable oil so that it covers the caviar by half a centimeter. We don't mix anymore. Close the jar tightly and put it in the refrigerator. After five days, your delicacy is ready.

Many housewives prefer to cook for their households not perch caviar pancakes, but a more original dish, albeit with a similar set of ingredients - casserole. For it you will need:
- a kilogram and a half of perch caviar;
- four eggs;
- a tablespoon of butter;
- half a tablespoon of salt;
- half a tablespoon of lemon juice;
- herbs and spices (to taste).
The first step is to clean the caviar from the films. Next, add a little salt and leave it to sit in the bowl for a while. While the caviar is resting, turn on the oven to 190 degrees.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the whites in a saucepan. Add just a little salt and lemon juice to them, then beat everything with a mixer until white, and then until a strong foam is obtained. Add the egg yolks to the caviar, mix the mixture until smooth and add it to the dough with the whites - do this carefully, gradually, spoon by spoon. Mix everything and, if you want, add spices or finely chopped dill and parsley to this mass.
The form in which the casserole will be prepared should be generously greased with butter. Leave some oil, it will be useful later. Now pour the dough into the casserole dish and place it in the oven for just 20 minutes.

Fried caviar
The specific astringency of the product completely disappears during heat treatment. Therefore, if you are thinking about how to cook perch caviar, but do not want to salt it (since you will have to wait five days for the delicacy), fry it. In this case, you will be spared the troublesome procedure of pulling the grains out of the yastki. Just rinse the bags containing the eggs thoroughly. In a plate, prepare a breading of flour, salt and pepper. Thoroughly roll the yastyki in this mixture. Heat a frying pan with plenty of ghee. Fry for two minutes on each side. Wash a dozen or a dozen cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add to the pan. Fry for another two minutes so that the tomatoes release their juice. Place the caviar and tomatoes in a warm bowl. Pour a little less than half a glass of dry white wine into the frying pan. Bring to a boil and simmer slightly (for one minute). Pour this sauce over the dish.

Fish caviar is one of the most delicious, nutritious and healthy foods. We are all, of course, very familiar with red (from salmon) and black (from sturgeon) caviar. By the way, in the old days, sturgeon and salmon caviar was considered a lesser delicacy than the caviar of river fish, for example, pike.
And now on fish counters you can see caviar not only from river fish, but also from sea fish, which also has excellent taste. In cooking, caviar is usually salted and fried. It's easy to fry. We will show you how to do this using the example of fresh frozen hake caviar.
If your caviar is not in film, then you can also fry it in a frying pan simply by adding salt and stirring all the time; in this case, it should not form lumps; if, nevertheless, in this case the caviar has formed large lumps, then it should be crushed using a blender.

How to fry river fish caviar
The usefulness of fish caviar does not need advertising, and its composition is replete with valuable and nutritious substances, it contains vitamins that are well absorbed by the human body. Moreover, according to doctors, any fish caviar has unique properties, and not just expensive varieties.
In the arsenal of any housewife there are several recipes for frying fish roe.
Caviar of river fish - silver carp, pike perch, pike, perch, carp, crucian carp and others - is a wonderful product from which you can easily prepare many delicious dishes.
Fried caviar: simple and a little more complicated
First you need to make sure that the caviar is mature: the eggs should be visible individually, and not look like a cloudy mass. Unripe caviar is unlikely to make a tasty dish.
Before frying river fish caviar, it must first be washed and then cleared of any remaining film from the caviar sac. The simplest, “folk” way of such cleaning is to smoothly squeeze a handful of caviar in your fist. In this case, the eggs seep between the fingers, and the films remain inside the handful. Remove small leftovers with a knife or fork.
Then you need to salt the caviar generously, add ground pepper and mix thoroughly.
Finely chopped onions are fried, and then caviar is placed in a frying pan with boiling oil and onions. You need to fry the caviar, continuously stirring the contents of the pan. Fried caviar changes color, which serves as a guide to which fragments are already approaching the stage of readiness, and which still need to be fried.
You can follow a simple path - do not stir the caviar, but wait until one side is completely fried, turn it over to the other side, bring it to readiness, and at this point the dish can be considered ready. You can serve it as an addition to a side dish, or you can serve it on its own.
A slightly more difficult way is to wait, stirring continuously, until all the caviar mass is well fried. It will absorb all the oil and acquire a golden hue with an orange tint. When hot, transfer it to another bowl, add butter, finely chopped herbs, and you can also add pepper. Then mix everything with a mixer or blender. Fried eggs have become harder, they will no longer turn into porridge. The resulting paste can be placed on croutons flavored with garlic.
Caviar pancakes
You can fry river fish caviar in another way. Add a chicken egg to the washed and film-free caviar (at the rate of 1 egg per 500 g of caviar), wheat flour (2-3 tablespoons), a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of ground black pepper.
The mixture is thoroughly mixed. Then spoon it out in portions onto a well-heated frying pan with vegetable oil.
