Hello!  I'm fairly certain the original is calling for the stomach, and not
the roe.  The original says 'wombe', which is usually translated as
stomach, although Pegge translates it as 'belly' in Forme of Cury.  There
are many entrail recipes in Austin's collection that call for 'wombes',
'paunches', etc.

There are 2 recipes (off the top of my head) in Austin's collection,
Iuschelle of Fysshe, and Mortrowes of fissh, which call for fish roe.  In
those instances the word is spelled 'frye', 'ffry', and 'rowys'.  In Forme
of Cury the word is spelled 'rawnes' (Mortrews of fish, p. 60)

HTH,
