Whitefish Roe (Golden)
goldenCoregonus spp.
Great Lakes / Northern USA·United States·Everyday
Tiny, crunchy, golden-hued beads from American whitefish. The flavour is mild and clean with a pleasant crispness. Its primary virtues are visual — the golden shimmer reads beautifully on a dark plate — and textural, adding a delicate crunch to canapés.
