Ikura and the Vegetarian Diet
Ikura, commonly referred to as salmon roe, is the unfertilized eggs of salmon, known for their bright orange color and distinctive salty and slightly fishy flavor. These fish eggs are typically cured in salt or soy sauce, resulting in a delicate, briny taste with a burst-in-the-mouth texture. Ikura is a staple in Japanese cuisine, often used as a topping for sushi, served in donburi bowls, or enjoyed on its own as a delicacy.
