Cod roe is popular in Denmark but many fish and chip shops in the UK sell it battered. I've seen it on many a menu, but I confess I've never tried it. Have you?
Yes, I’ve tried pressed cod roe, several times actually 😄
The first time was in a tiny London chippy, deep-fried in a crisp batter. The outside was golden and crunchy, while the inside was soft, almost creamy, with a gentle, slightly smoky fish flavor. It reminded me a bit of tarama or mild pâté.
In Denmark, I had it sliced on rye bread with pickles and lemon, which made it brighter and more interesting. If you enjoy fishcakes, taramasalata or milder offal-like textures, pressed cod roe is worth trying at least once.
Nope, can't say that I have tried it. I'm generally not that fond offish roe. I know, caviar is supposed to be good, and I've had it, but it doesn't excite my taste buds.
