About Smoked cod roe

Smoked cod roe is the egg mass of cod that has been salted and exposed to smoke. It is sold whole or as a prepared paste, with colour ranging from pale beige to orange-brown depending on the roe and processing. Whole roe is firm and sliceable; paste is soft and spreadable. Its flavour is savoury, briny and distinctly smoky.

It is used as a spread or as a flavouring in sauces and other preparations. Products vary in saltiness, smoking intensity and whether they contain additional ingredients, so the name does not imply one standard recipe. The roe may be sold cooked or otherwise processed, and preparation details can differ between products.
