Taramá is salted and cured carp or cod roe used to make taramosaláta, a Greek meze consisting of taramá mixed with lemon juice, bread crumbs, onions, and olive oil; it is eaten as a dip.

Those who consume masago may want to be mindful of the ingredients with which it’s commonly combined, such as high fructose corn syrup and monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Smelt roe, or “masago”, as the Japanese call it, are the caplin fish’s edible eggs commonly used in making sushi and sashimi. A single 1-ounce (28-gram) serving delivers 6 grams of high quality protein — about the same as one large (50-gram) egg ( 7). Masago has a bright reddish-orange look, though it is slightly less vibrant than tobiko. Some producers dye the eggs to pass them off as tobiko. However, the fish eggs themselves are much smaller, which gives masago a different texture.Mating occurs in the open ocean and the female flying fish attaches her eggs to floating debris and seaweed. When they hatch, the babies have plant-like protrusions from their mouths, supposedly for camouflage. Barbados is known as "the land of the flying fish" and the fish is one of the national symbols of the country. The Exocet missile is named after them, as variants are launched from underwater, and take a low trajectory, skimming the surface, before striking their targets. Paddlefish caviar is harvested from freshwater sturgeon in the United States. It’s considered a good caviar to start with when you’re a beginner to the sushi and caviar world. Whitefish caviar Ikura also has an intense reddish-orange color due to specific pigment compounds in the egg. The eggs are shiny and should be slightly transparent. Fish and fish products like masago are some of the best dietary sources of omega-3 fats. Low in mercury

Sturgeon caviar has a beneficial nutritional profile, too. As a study in the International Food Research Journal notes, sturgeon caviar contains a high percentage of fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA. All with this, it contains 6 percent folate, 11 percent phosphorus, and 16% selenium. Tobiko Benefits: Bottarga is primarily the salted and dried roe pouch of the Atlantic bluefin tuna; it can also be prepared with the dried roe pouch of the flathead mullet, even if it is considered of low quality and less tasty. It is used minced for dressing pasta or sliced with olive oil and lemon (Fishermen style). The coastal town of Alghero, Sardinia, is also known for its "bogamarì" specialty (fresh sea urchin roe). Research shows that increased blood levels of selenium may enhance immune response and prevent mental decline, though the results are inconclusive ( 11, 12, 13).

What’s more, masago is often mixed with salty ingredients — such as soy sauce and salt — to enhance its taste, which increases the sodium content of the final product. Caviar has a salty taste that many people say is similar to a sea breeze. The eggs have a crunchy texture and release a slightly sweet taste upon chewing. Barbados is known as "the land of the flying fish", and the fish is one of the national symbols of the country. Once abundant, it migrated between the warm, coral-filled Atlantic Ocean surrounding the island of Barbados and the plankton-rich outflows of the Orinoco River in Venezuela. [ citation needed]
