SHHHHHHH this was a secret!!!!!!!! :D

they really do taste just fine, it's just that you get such little fillets off of them vs their size

I think they should slap at least a bag limit on robins. Do it before the bucket brigade catch wind of how tasty they are...and god forbid the comms start netting them in force.

From a culinary perspective...there is absolutely no --- zero --- reason people should shun robins for food. They are delicious.

Take the tail, bone-in, rub some olive oil over it. Salt, pepper (lots of salt!), pop it on grill. Roll it a quarter turn every minute until done, approx 7-10 min on a hot ass grill, depending on size of tail. Squeeze lemon juice, more EVOO, done!

Thanks for sharing. I tossed back 3 the other day - now regretting it.:confused:

There will be more, many more! As for the roe...generally you'd have to rinse/soak it in brine. I might do something with that next time!

Hey Roger - I don't know if I asked you this in the past but what camera and lighting equipment do you use for your cooking portion of the videos>? I'm trying to up my game on the prep/video side. It helps to have your videographer!
