No much of a roe fan. Too salty.

The antipasti sounds much better. ;)

This roe in the taramasalata wasn't that salty. It appears pale pink after they whip it with the olive oil. It has the consistency of a souffle. Actually the saltiest part of the antipasto platter was the feta cheese. So NO cavier for you, heh bmw? :shakehead:

today was excellent fish cooked in a sauce of tomatoes, onions, cream and some spices with yogurt and orange juice !!

:dancing:

I only fish egg I've eaten is the tobiko in sushi. Does that count for anything?

Flying fish eggs? That's gotta count.

I've had ikura once, and it was sooo salty.... :bleh:

The smelt eggs in California maki is alright, but it's only a small part of the sushi...

Never eat ikura from those chinese buffet places.... THEY'RE HORRIBLE!! They're probably about 2 weeks old and have a funny taste to them. I paid the price when I tried one. All the rice and everything else I ate almost put on the brakes and slammed it into reverse.... :bleh:

Not sure about the rest of the country, but we've got tons of sushi bars in California... Particularly SoCal...

There's a lotta Japanese where I'm at, 'cause the headquarters of the big three (Toyota, Honda, Nissan) are all here... Within a couple of miles of each other, a matter of fact. :)
