Where can I buy smelt roe?!
Thanks a lot!
Answers: Where can i buy smelt roe (the small crunchy eggs that you find in california rolls sometimes it comes alone with rice and seaweed)? I know amazon sells it but I don't want to buy it online. Would walmart, farmfresh, food lion, or harris teeter have it? If i can find it do I have to prepare it in order to make sushi and how??
Thanks a lot!
You can usually find it at local Asian supermarkets.
No preparation is necessary, just spoon it right on to your sushi and enjoy! =]
I'd look at any Asian markets. I doubt walmart would have it.
If you're stuck without smelt roe, you may have to use toasted sesame seeds instead.
I buy mine from an Oriental market by my house. Sushi is Japenese cuisine, so you may not find it in an Asian market. Oriental markets cover all. Find one that has fresh crab in tanks. They are sure to have it. If you don't know how to make sushi already, the best way to learn, is to go to You Tube. They have several videos that will walk you through. It's much better to actually watch it being done instead of reading how. If I knew how to upload the picture on here I would show you what I've done. I am really good at it now. I make the California rolls and the Spider rolls. They are fun and easy to make. I hope this helps.
O.K., people. First of all its Tobiko, Flying fish eggs, not smelt.
Search on line for Bemka, House of Fine Foods & Caviar. They have a wonderfull selection of colors and flavors. Red, orange, black, green (wasabi flavored) in a number of pakage sises. They ship overnight, and its the same cost to ship to you if its 4 oz. of egss or 3 lbs. Stays good in your freezer for 6 months so get a few colors and enjoy! You need the red for dynamite sauce, orange for California rolls.
