About Fish egg

Fish eggs, commonly known as roe, are a nutrient-rich delicacy appreciated in various cuisines worldwide, including Japanese, Russian, and Mediterranean. They come from fish species such as salmon, sturgeon, and capelin, and vary in texture, flavor, and color—from the bright orange of salmon roe to the glossy black of sturgeon caviar. Packed with essential omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, and high-quality protein, fish eggs support heart health, brain function, and immune strength. They also contain minerals like selenium and phosphorus. Despite their nutritional benefits, fish eggs can be high in cholesterol and sodium, particularly when processed or salted, which may require moderation for individuals with specific dietary concerns. Typically enjoyed fresh, cured, or as garnishes, fish eggs are a luxurious and flavorful addition to meals, ranging from sushi rolls to elegant hors d'oeuvres.
