About Smelt roe

Smelt roe, the eggs of small freshwater fish known as smelt, is a popular ingredient in various cuisines, particularly Japanese, where it’s often featured as a sushi topping or garnish. Bright orange in color with a delicate, crispy texture, it provides a subtle briny flavor that enhances dishes. Nutritionally, smelt roe is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting heart health and brain function. It is also low in calories, making it a favorable choice for those watching their intake. However, it can be high in sodium, especially when processed or seasoned, so moderation is key for individuals sensitive to salt. Smelt roe’s balance of nutrients and distinct taste makes it both a flavorful and functional addition to meals, showcasing its appeal in global seafood-inspired cuisine.
