Abstract:

A process, and the product produced thereby, for making fishbait from commercially suitable and/or unsuitable salmon eggs. The process includes the steps of: (1) mixing the salmon eggs, any residual salmon egg material, and the residual salmon egg oil with a binder, such as sugar, to form a mixture which thus includes whole salmon eggs; (2) spreading the mixture into an open vessel; (3) swabbing the exposed surface of the mixture with oil; (4) heating the mixture in a vacuum, thereby cooking it into a soft, but congealed mass; (5) turning the congealed mass over and repeating steps (3) and (4); and (6) cutting the mass resulting from step (5) into strips convenient for packaging and sale.
