About Roe

Roe is the eggs of fish or other aquatic animals, used as a food ingredient. The name covers a variable class and does not identify the animal species, whether the eggs are fresh or processed, or whether they are sold as a standalone food or ingredient. It should not be assigned to a particular kind of caviar or fish roe.

Roe may appear as small, distinct eggs or as a processed, salted, or otherwise prepared product. Colour, firmness, flavour, and use vary with source and processing. The label is needed to identify the source animal and preparation; this broad term alone does not support those details.
