Herring Roe, Raw

Herring Roe, Raw

EverydayRaw

Herring roe is the unfertilized egg mass of herring fish, typically harvested fresh and consumed uncooked. These pearlescent, granular eggs provide a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12, with a delicate briny flavor and tender pop of texture when raw. While nutritionally dense, the roe is notably high in cholesterol and often served minimally processed in Scandinavian and Japanese cuisines as a sushi topping or chilled appetizer.
