The next time you have the privilege to get any of this delicacy, I would
recommend soaking the roe over night in salt water and carefully removing the
membranes the next day before continuing with your recipe. This jot only
should remove bitterness but also removes any overpowering fishy taste and
sweetens it.
OTOH, not all fish roes are edible and, IIRC, a few species may be poisonous.
Did you check to see if porgy roe was edible first? As a side note, bluegill
roe is particularly tasty as I bullhead roe. Soak, saute in butter and then
mix with scrambled eggs for a tasty breakfast or brunch dish.
