Lumpfish roe is preserved lumpfish egg, commonly salted and coloured, with small firm beads used as an edible seafood garnish or ingredient.
About Lumpfish roe
Lumpfish roe is the eggs of lumpfish, commonly sold as a preserved product. The small eggs are often coloured, typically red or black, and have a firm, bead-like texture with a briny, mildly fishy flavour. It is used as an edible roe, distinct from lumpfish flesh and from unprocessed eggs.
Retail forms are usually salted and may include colouring or other ingredients; some are sold in jars or tubs. Processing and colour do not identify a particular formulation, so ingredient labels matter when comparing products. Fresh roe, where available, has different moisture, flavour, and handling characteristics from preserved roe.
