Tiny pearls with a lovely salty flavour and a satisfying pop, Lumpfish Roe is one of those wonderfully useful things to have in the fridge.

Available in striking black or vibrant red, the small, glossy pearls instantly dress up a dish. Spoon over blinis with crème fraîche, scatter across smoked salmon, use to finish seafood starters and sauces, or add to sushi and canapés for a burst of colour, texture and salinity.

It’s also fantastic when you’re entertaining. While the pearls are smaller and the flavour less complex than traditional sturgeon caviars such as Oscietra or Beluga, a little goes a remarkably long way, making Lumpfish Roe an affordable way to add that celebratory caviar-style flourish when you’re feeding a crowd.
