i can't make any blanket guarantees, but i don't recall the ones i saw being packed having been brined. my guess is that it's more of an oxidation/rancidity issue. they really, really need to be fresh.
Hmm. That must be it. I figured they did something to keep it fresh, and to shorten the time necessary to get the things really clean. FWIW, and I am sure you have done this, put any not beautiful gonads through a tamis and into some homemade mayo, and use it with shrimp or crab to make salad.
