What makes the eggs so they don’t freeze rock solid, I have a bag of coho I bought at a tackle shop and when there in freezer and I pull them out there still kinda pliable

Hey there so I love fishing but have never really got into creek fishing until recently I live very close to big creek and have been doing a bunch of fishing there recently and I really want to get into the process of curing my own eggs and roe etc. I caught a nice 8lb steelhead the other day took the eggs out set them in fridge over night, scraped the skein with a spoon to get loose eggs then sprinkled on fire cure and put back in fridge over night and they just don’t seem right? I have got some other coho eggs and when they’re frozen are still kinda pliable and don’t freeze rock solid where I put mine in the freezer and they are frozen rock hard why is this? Also I would love to learn the salt sugar method and I think I’m gunna try the borax o fire cure as well, I just wanna know the best process and what you do, if you have “secrets” and don’t wanna give them a way please send me a pm thanks guys
