lumpfish eggs
Lumpfish egg
Lumpfish egg is unfertilised lumpfish roe, with naturally pale, bead-like eggs that may be salted, coloured or otherwise prepared commercially.
About Lumpfish egg
Lumpfish eggs are the unfertilized eggs of lumpfish, sold as a small, bead-like roe. The eggs are naturally pale, but commercial products are often processed and coloured, with a firm, popping texture and a mild, briny flavour. They are eaten as roe rather than as a substitute for the fish’s flesh.
Products may be sold salted, coloured, or in prepared jars, and sometimes contain other ingredients. Fresh or minimally processed eggs are not equivalent to the common preserved retail product. The name alone does not specify salting, colouring, or other processing, which can strongly affect taste and composition.
