Traditionally this is one of the dips that we eat on Clean Monday, but it is eaten all year round especially by me. :0 If you have travelled to Greece and have eaten at one of the lovely fish tavern you surely must have tried Fish Roe Dip otherwise known as Taramosalata, and it so happens that it is usually one of the first dips on the Menu under Appetisers.
I was able to find Fish Roe Paste in a lovely greek deli the other day, and this was really a lovely surprise for me. The owner of the store was so kind, as we have been shopping there every since we moved to the Netherlands. He doesn’t have a wide variety of products but the few that he has are fantastic, and he was so sweet that he actually gave me the paste as a gift. 🙂
So, I mentioned earlier that I love this dip, let me tell you the first thing I do after saying my hellos to family and friends (and don’t laugh hehehe) I hit the supermarket to pick up Taramosalata and a few other things that I can’t find here. 🙂 Then off to my favorite greek bakery and buy some warm fresh baked bread that was just taken out of the oven…:) run back to where ever I am staying and enjoy dip and bread with a lovely glass of white wine. 🙂

I always wondered how you get the pink color when I saw it in the supermarket. Now I know it 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Sophie!
I must say that this is one of those things that taste better than they sound, At least to me 🙂
This looks interesting Sophie! Is there a difference between fish roe and caviar? Of are the two terms interchangeable? 🧐
