About Fish, roe, mixed species, raw

Fish roe is the egg mass harvested from female fish, and it is eaten in cuisines all over the world — from Japanese sushi toppings such as ikura (salmon roe) and tobiko (flying-fish roe) to the cured cod roe of Scandinavia and the taramasalata of Greece. The flavor is rich and savory with a briny pop, and the texture ranges from tiny crisp beads to soft, creamy lobes depending on the fish.

Roe is genuinely nutrient-dense: about 143 calories per 100 grams raw, with more than 22 grams of protein and a moderate amount of fat — much of it the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. It is an outstanding source of vitamin B12 and also supplies vitamin D and selenium. Like other egg products it is fairly high in cholesterol.

Fresh roe is pan-fried, poached or added to sauces, while a great deal of roe is cured or salted (the salted versions, like caviar and cod roe, are far higher in sodium than this fresh figure). Its concentration of nutrients in a small package is part of why roe has long been valued as a prized, traditional food.
