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.
