Why Do We Eat Caviar?

[plowter]

Why do we eat sturgeon eggs? Why don't we eat the eggs of other fish?

[ubasses]

some people do it's just called fish roe.

I do .Cod or herring roes on toast .Lovely :)
Cavier is overrated and overpriced !

I eat cod roe, caviar is horrible bitter stuff imo.

Salmon Roe is used in a lot of dishes too...

Gotta agree with that, Dave. Plenty of vinegar on though.

[sunny-dave]

and some brown sauce too, tony

fish roe's lovely, both hard and soft roe. Caviar's vile.

[mccfluff]

prawn roe is nice too

[RATTER15]

I must admit to enjoying caviar on toast occasionally, I also love roe but haven't had it for years.

[emmie]

tried caviar a number of times, too salty, and not worth the money

[diddlydo]

Taramasalata is of course made from smoked cod's roe and is delicious if home-made. Don't bother with the pink supermarket gloop.

Mmm, never fancied Caviar, but did someone mention Cod Roe--Delish!
