Roe

Mahi-mahi roe is an occasional seasonal product—firm sacs when available from whole fish, used fresh, salted, or fried in local tropical cookery. Not a major commercial caviar substitute. Freshness must be excellent. Treat like other mild fish roes: gentle heat, acid, and salt. Skip if the sac smells sharp or is broken and soft.
