Sashimi with yellow roe - can anyone tell me what is it ?




This sashimi with lots of yellow roe chunks. I don't know what fish variety is this. Can anyone tell me? Is it kazuno - a winter specialty ? I may be wrong. And I ate an unknown sashimi!!! :O

    Eating "unknown sashimi" is quite bold.
    That having been said, we love sushi and sashimi here, and it's making us hungry :)

    I think it's swordfish - the colour of the skin and darker pink parts make me think that.

    But I've never seen it prepared with roe like that - so cool! Bet it was delicious.

    Yellow tail, yellow bream, swordfish?

    What does it taste like? OK.
    I'm not a sashimi expert but I still prefer the classic...salmon sashimi, for sure :D ..Roes were slightly "crunchy".

    keropokman, good point! How did I order? Well, there are 5-6 items in the sashimi list, written in Mandarin/Japanese and I was just supposed to write the item # and quantity by the side. So, I tried everything there by item #, not by exact identity! LOL!

    That looks gorgeous... I'll have enjoyed it no matter what it was called!

    P.S. I recently Facebooked about making your tahini soba with pork floss for dinner (again, hehe), and a friend's gonna make me delicious mint choc brownies if I make her these and bring it over for potluck! Your recipes are the best! :D

    asked my hb, the yellow roe is kazunoko (herring roe)... you got it (almot) right. had it last week, the roe sticking together like eating very hard agar-agar. at first i tot they added gelatine... :D

    The fish looks like mackerel. I've seen the green wasabi flavored fish roe but not the yellow one.

    Oh, the yellow roe looks like Kazunoko (Herring) roe.

    And the white thin fish looks like white bait but bigger. Crystal Jade had them fried and called it 白饭鱼.

    I had this today sashimi today at Shinyeh Japanese buffet restaurant in Taipei - the signboard says it’s goldfish roe sashimi, but I think it probably is carp roe sashimi…
