Smoked cod roe is a brilliant choice if you enjoy bold flavour and want something a little different from “loose” roe. Unlike many other roes, it’s typically kept in the roe sac, which gives it that distinctive, almost sweetbread-like look and a firmer, sliceable texture.
It’s then cured (salted) and smoked, which is what creates the intense - but balanced - smoky, salty flavour people love.
Because what makes a great fishmonger is careful handling and preparation, buying smoked seafood like this from a trusted source helps ensure it’s properly cured, smoked, and ready to use at home.
