What is Masago

Masago is orange fish roe used for making sushi. The brightly colored roe has a briny flavor and a crisp texture. Look for these fish roes at specialty stores that sell sushi ingredients. If you don't have a local Japanese store then you can order from a reputable online source such as Catalina Offshore Products.
