About Spicy cod roe

Spicy cod roe, known as "mentaiko" in Japanese cuisine, is a seasoned and marinated fish roe often enjoyed as a delicacy in East Asia. Originating from Korea as "myeongnan-jeot," its preparation typically involves pollock or cod roe flavored with chili pepper, salt, and sometimes other spices. This bold, savory, and slightly spicy seafood is commonly paired with rice, pasta, or sushi. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12 and D, spicy cod roe supports muscle development and brain health while promoting heart health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is key, particularly for those monitoring blood pressure or sodium intake. Its vibrant taste and nutrient profile make it a flavorful yet mindful addition to a balanced diet, celebrated across Japanese and Korean tables for its versatility and bold flavors.
