Varieties of fish roe
What are fish roe called?
Keta Wild Salmon Eggs
Enjoying salmon roe, also known as red caviar, is a long-standing festive tradition, especially in Russia! Keta (Alaska) wild salmon roe is large, firm and naturally orange in color. Once in the mouth, they burst forth, releasing a creamy sensation and a strong iodized taste.
Bottarga
Poutargue is a Mediterranean specialty made from mullet roe. Carefully selected for its orange color, the pouch of mullet roe is salted and dried slowly to preserve its softness and unique poutargue flavor.
Trout eggs
Smaller in size than salmon roe, trout roe is also milder and less iodized, as it comes from a river fish. Crunchy and creamy at the same time, they will delight fish roe lovers.
What are the best fish eggs?
Fish roe comes in a variety of forms, to suit all tastes. For an iodized wave, prefer salmon roe; for more delicate palates, we recommend trout roe. Mullet or bottarga roe is perfect for a softer texture.
