Is Roe Just Caviar?
It’s a question that might have left you scratching your head: What’s the difference between caviar and roe? Caviar has become a luxurious delicacy, highly prized for its rich and buttery flavor, while roe is often found on appetizer menus at sushi and seafood restaurants. But are they really the same thing?
Direct Answer to the Question
No, roe is not just caviar. While caviar and roe are both the eggs (or roe) of fish, caviar is specifically the name given to the roe of sturgeon fish of the Acipenseridae family. Caviar has undergone a painstaking process of being salt-cured, preserving its delicacy and potency. Other types of roe may be salted, fresh, or raw, leading to differences in taste and texture.
