About Capelin caviar

Capelin caviar, also known as masago, is a type of roe harvested from the small capelin fish, native to the cold waters of Iceland, Norway, and Canada. Popular in Japanese cuisine, it is commonly used as a garnish for sushi, rolls, and salads, adding a briny flavor and delicate texture. Masago is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart health and brain function, while offering essential vitamins such as B12 and E. It is relatively low in calories but contains moderate levels of sodium, which should be considered for those monitoring salt intake. While masago is nutrient-dense, its processing may include added preservatives and food coloring, which could be a concern for some. Nonetheless, capelin caviar is a flavorful and nutritious seafood delicacy enjoyed worldwide, offering a multifaceted taste experience with health-boosting benefits when consumed in moderation.
