    What Is Masago

    Before jumping into masago sauce let's talk a little bit about masago. For the people who don't know what is masago, simply it's an egg of the capelin fish. Capelin is a type of foraging fish that frequents the world's cold-water regions, namely the Arctic, North Pacific, and North Atlantic.

    Many people things that masago is like caviar but this is wrong. Caviar and masago are indeed both fish roe (fish eggs), but only the roe from sturgeon fish is called “true caviar.” So masago is not a caviar.

    Masago comes in an orange-yellow color, and they are usually used as sushi topping or with salad or in sauce like today's recipe.

    What Is Masago Sauce

    One of the famous masago sauces is the Japanese masago sauce with Kewpie mayonnaise and Huy Fong Sriracha sauce. it's an easy and quick masago sauce recipe that you can serve with many dishes. And as you can see you will need only those 2 ingredients with the masago to make this spicy sauce.

    Maybe many of you can't find those ingredients, so I will show you how to make a delicious masago sauce from simple ingredients that you can find in your pantry.
