Confession time -- roe foods kind of freak me out. I never liked the tobiko or ikura, and bottarga I could probably live without. I only recently had my first caviar which I adored, but I've only had caviar one other time since. It's weird to me, the thousands of potential babies. I know, I know, I eat chicken eggs. And I'll chow foie gras and veal without batting an ethical eyelash. Some spring I will get around to trying the shad roe. And when I do, maybe I'll try this recipe from New York Magazine for Bacon-wrapped Shad Roe. Anything wrapped in bacon has to be good.
What does it taste like? Can anyone tell me?
