Tobiko is the name of the roe from the flying fish species. The most common place to find tobiko is in sushi restaurants, where people sprinkle them on top of dishes or spread them on sushi rolls to give them a brighter look. People may also eat tobiko as a sushi or sashimi dish.

There are a few different ways to prepare roe, depending on the type of eggs and what flavor profile best suits them. Roe can be both a fresh and cooked ingredient. Fish roe, in general, is a healthful food choice. As the United States Department of Agriculture note, fish roe is typically low in calories and rich in proteins and amino acids. Roe contains numerous healthful minerals and nutrients, such as magnesium, selenium, and vitamin B-12, though these vary slightly among types. Fish roe also contains healthful unsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3. These fatty acids may help reduce inflammation and protect the brain and other bodily systems from the effects of oxidative damage. Also, a study that appears in the Journal of Food Science and Technology notes that roe is high in fats that can help improve learning ability and lower fat levels in the blood. Each type of roe has distinct flavors and uses, though there are also many similarities between them. Tobiko Share on Pinterest It is common to see tobiko in sushi restaurants. Tobiko is the name of the roe from the flying fish species. The most common place to find tobiko is in sushi restaurants, where people sprinkle them on top of dishes or spread them on sushi rolls to give them a brighter look. People may also eat tobiko as a sushi or sashimi dish. Tobiko usually has a naturally vibrant, bright reddish color, though restaurants sometimes add other natural ingredients, such as wasabi or squid ink, to alter its flavor and appearance. Tobiko eggs are very small, typically under 1 millimeter in diameter. They have a characteristic crunch or bursting feeling when a person bites into them, and they add a distinct texture to food. Tobiko is traditionally salt-cured and will typically have a smoky, salty taste. However, tobiko tends to be a little sweeter than other types of roe, such as caviar or ikura. Similar to other types of roe, tobiko is high in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients. In fact, a study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences explains that flying fish roe, similar to salmon roe, is very high in phospholipid fats. These fats may help protect the heart and liver, reduce inflammation, and improve learning capacity. However, tobiko is very high in cholesterol. That being said, this is not usually an issue in moderation, as the serving size for tobiko is typically very small. Masago Share on Pinterest Masago is similar in taste to tobiko. Masago is the name of the roe from the capelin, which is a fish in the smelt family. Masago may refer to roe from other types of smelt as well. These fish are small and produce very small eggs. 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. Masago does not provide the same sensation as ikura or tobiko when a person eats it, as it is more sandy than crunchy. Masago is also similar in taste to tobiko, though it tends to be more bitter. Similar to caviar, masago tends to be more of a garnish than the focus of a meal. Due to their similarities, many restaurants use masago in place of tobiko, as masago tends to be much less expensive. Masago is common on sushi rolls and in other Japanese dishes but will likely not make up the bulk of a meal. It makes a good accompaniment for many rice dishes. Masago itself is low in calories and delivers healthful proteins and fatty acids, plus important nutrients such as magnesium, selenium, and vitamin B-12, to the body. However, masago tends to be relatively high in sodium. There are also some ethical concerns about eating masago. Capelin fish are important sources of food for many larger fish and marine animals, and overfishing may have a detrimental effect on the local environment.

Read More »Ikura Share on Pinterest Ikura contains protein and vitamin A. Ikura is the Japanese word for salmon roe. Salmon roe is much larger than many other types of roe. 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. Traditionally, farmers cured ikura in salt. Now, though, it is equally as common to find slightly sweet ikura or ikura marinated in a soy sauce base. Ikura should have a pleasant smell and a bold, rich flavor. Ikura is a very nutritious food. As a study in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging points out, ikura is high in healthful fatty acids, including: high-quality omega-3s in the form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
