Tarama (fish roe)
Tarama (fish roe) is a salty, umami-rich spread made from cured fish roe, commonly used in Greek and Eastern Mediterranean cuisines (for example in taramosalata) as a dip or sandwich spread. It is prized for its creamy texture and intense seafood flavor, often brightened with lemon and olive oil. Nutritionally, Tarama (fish roe) is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 24.6g of protein per 100g, and it also supplies notable amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium. Because it is made from fish eggs and is typically cured or processed, it delivers high-quality amino acids and heart-healthy long-chain omega-3s, but it’s also a product best enjoyed in moderation as part of a varied diet.
