What…

…and How

To serve:

For babies, only a small amount is needed, as roe is highly nutritious. Fish eggs (such as salmon roe) on their can be a lovely finger food for your baby, they love to pick up tiny little things.

Suitable for all the family, from 6 months or so, use this delicious pink cream to spread on sourdough toast, to fill celery stalks, carrot sticks or other crudités and salad, or serve in a dish with crackers of choice.

Variation: Budget Roe Spread

Use 1 lb raw fish roe (casing removed) from any kind of fish, in place of smoked cod roe; add natural sea salt to taste.

High-nutrient roe can often be obtained in season at very low cost from a good fish merchant.

Try sourcing smoked cod roe at Asian or Middle Eastern shops, maybe canned or in jars, or ask your local fish merchant, or www.thefishsociety.co.uk or search on-line. Always check for additives, and source the most natural products possible. Avoid fish from Pacific regions.
