Types of Fish Roe & Red Caviar in Canada
Salmon Roe (Ikura)
Salmon roe — known as ikura in Japanese cuisine — is the most popular red caviar in Canada. The pearls are large, glossy, and vibrant red-orange, with a rich, savoury flavour and a satisfying burst. Versatile and crowd-pleasing, it's equally at home on sushi, blinis, or toast with crème fraîche.
Trout Roe
Smaller than salmon roe with a delicate translucent hue, trout roe offers a cleaner, more refined profile — lightly briny, subtly sweet, and exceptionally smooth. An excellent entry point for those new to red caviar.
Lumpfish Roe
Available in black and red, lumpfish roe is small, firm, and boldly briny — with a satisfying pop and strong visual impact at an accessible price point. A favourite for entertaining, garnishing, and canapés.
Masago
The cured roe of capelin, masago is best known from Japanese sushi cuisine. The eggs are tiny and soft with a mild, clean brine and subtle sweetness. We carry orange and red masago — both ideal for sushi rolls, garnishing, and canapés.
Bottarga
Bottarga is cured and dried grey mullet roe — an ancient Mediterranean delicacy with an intensely savoury, umami-rich depth. Grated over pasta, shaved onto toast, or sliced thin as an appetizer, it's unlike anything else in our collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fish Roe
Learn more about fish roe before choosing the perfect jar. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about fish roe, including its taste, origins, and how to serve it.Red caviar is a term used in Canada and Eastern Europe to refer to salmon roe — the cured eggs of Pacific or Atlantic salmon.
The name comes from the eggs' distinctive deep red-orange colour. While technically a fish roe rather than true caviar (which refers exclusively to sturgeon), salmon roe is widely considered one of the finest roes in the world.
Caviar refers specifically to the cured roe of sturgeon — Beluga, Osetra, Siberian, and others. Fish roe is the broader term covering the eggs of any fish species. All caviar is fish roe, but not all fish roe is caviar. For more information, visit Roe vs. Caviar.
Canadians can buy fish roe from grocery stores, Asian markets, fishmongers, and specialty online retailers like CaviarHub.
Grocery and chain stores typically carry frozen products in large formats — good for volume, limited in variety.
sSpecialty retailers and online shops carry fresh roe in smaller formats (50g–100g) with refrigerated shipping, which is the easiest way to access the full range of species. For a full breakdown, visit Where to Buy Fish Roe & Red Caviar in Canada.
Masago comes from capelin, a small forage fish. Tobiko comes from flying fish and is slightly larger, firmer, and more intensely flavoured. Both are widely used in Japanese cuisine. For more information, visit Tobiko vs. Masago.
