Visitors of our Seattle Korean restaurant may be apprehensive to try anything made with fish eggs (or roe), but their widespread use in cuisines across the globe suggest that they are not such a strange delicacy. As a peninsula, Korea harvests the ripe fish roe from a variety of sea life, including herring, salmon, cod, sea urchin, and others.
Fish eggs can be served either raw or cooked, and are considered an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Korean fish roe are often seasoned and served in hot soups, such as in our soft tofu soup.
More information on Korean fish egg recipes is available at our Seattle Korean restaurant.
