Black Lumpfish Roe
Black lumpfish roe is a type of caviar made from the eggs of the lumpfish, a small fish found in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The roe is harvested from female lumpfish and processed by salting and sometimes adding flavorings like squid ink or dyes to enhance its appearance.
Black lumpfish roe has a distinctively crunchy texture and a briny, slightly salty flavor. It is often used as a garnish or topping for sushi, crackers, canapés, or salads. Black lumpfish roe is generally less expensive than other types of caviar, making it a popular choice for casual entertaining or adding a touch of luxury to everyday meals. However, it is important to note that lumpfish roe is not considered a true caviar, which only refers to the eggs of sturgeon species.
