Editor's note:
Milt or soft roe also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm, which is used as food. Many cultures eat milk, often fried, though not as a stand-alone dish.
In Korean cuisine, the milk (이리 iri) of Alaska pollock, cod, blackmouth fisherman, bogeo, and sea bream are eaten.
