Salted Cod Roe

Ensure the package is tightly sealed to prevent drying out.

Rinse the roe under cold water before use to remove excess salt.

Soak in cold water for 30 minutes to an hour if it's too salty.

It's often blended with bread, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic to make taramosalata.

Using it directly without tasting – it can be very salty and may require rinsing or soaking.

Not blending it smoothly enough for dips, resulting in a grainy texture.
