Quick take
Super-fine borax powder with added moisture for curing salmon and steelhead roe.
Pro-Cure Borax is a fine powder sold in a 4 pound bag for anglers who cure their own bait eggs. It is made to coat eggs evenly without caking, and extra moisture helps keep them from drying out too much. Anglers add it to an egg cure to firm up the eggs and dry them enough to fish.
