Milts

Milts refers to the reproductive organs of male fish. These organs produce sperm. In appearance, milts are typically creamy white and somewhat gelatinous. The size and shape of milts can vary depending on the species of fish and the time of year, as they are most developed during the breeding season. When a male fish is mature, its milts will be large and full. The milt is released into the water, where it fertilizes the eggs released by the female fish. This process is known as spawning. The presence of milt in a fish can sometimes affect its texture and flavor, and in many cultures, milts are considered a delicacy. They are often prepared by frying, baking, or smoking. The nutritional content of milts includes protein and various minerals.
