More about Tobiko (Flying Fish Roe)
We carry a colorful selection of Tobiko flying fish roe! From inky black to brilliant orange, hot and spicy wasabi and golden Tobiko, we have a brilliant assortment of flying fish roe, ready to give your dishes that fantastic pop of color and flavor.
Tobiko is Japanese for flying fish eggs, but the actual fish is found in the icy waters off of Iceland. The flavor of the eggs is mild, which makes the perfect vehicle to infuse with pretty much any ingredient that adds color and flavor. Although usually found topping sushi rolls and nigiris (it’s perfect to give that restaurant final touch to home made sushi), it can really be used on any dish – we especially love it in rice dishes, where it really pops. But it also gives a pretty finishing touch to soups!
Tobiko is a versatile, inexpensive and fun caviar that’s perfect to really get creative with, so stock up on every color! At Gourmet Food Store we ship our caviar overnight in specialty packaging with ice packs for ultimate freshness, so you are guaranteed a perfectly fresh product every time.
