never had much luck with boiled salmon eggs, more of a pain. If you can just get the store bought ones.

 

Just boil them for anywhere from 2 - 3 minutes... depending on the hardness that you want. Dump them into a strainer... and then into some cold water for a while to help them cool off. Then lay them out on a paper towel to dry.

 

I have done well with the boiled salmon eggs this year. I boil them for 3 minutes. Just make sure you have a hook with you to test them.

 

I am guessing you are trying to make (what we Canadians call) single eggs. Some of us also use crystal draino to keep color and eggs firm. We use 1 teaspoon to evry litre of water (don't quote me on that). google curing single salmon eggs. There is even a recipe for a acid wash as well.

Good luck

Simply boiling for 2-3 minutes works but if you want to separate yourself from the rest its what you add that makes a difference. I usually do a 1/4 cup salt and add 1/4 cup brown sugar and then boil. Once they are done I drain and add orange or red food color. I have even added other flavoring such as anise which is a personal best and can be founf in ost stores with baking supplies. Check eggs often they can't be overcooked or undercooked.

Good luck

"Co-signing" for Donp and his method. Finally got the boiling part right and when they wouldnt hit my skein the boiled singles were the ticket. Here is the proof:

The acid wash was by far the best curing process I have used yet. The shell of the eggs turn into a durable rubber like shell with the inside still liquid. You can squeeze them without popping just like rubber. This works great for tying and do not get tacky. You can pic the Boric Acid up at any hardware store usually in the insect killer section.

 

Curing and boiling are two different things. The purpose of boiling the eggs is so that a single egg will stay on a hook. These are not meant to be tied into spawn bags. So any method that keeps the inside liquid is not what he is looking for because as soon as you pierce the egg with a hook, all the liquid will leak out and the egg will delfate. Others have already gone over the boiling process, just thought I would clarify what I think he was looking for. These single eggs are typically used for whitefish, see picture posted above.
