Romanian style fish roe salad (salată de icre)
Fish second courses
Fish Roe Salad (Salată de Icre) is made with pike or carp fresh roe and is a customary appetizer for festive dinners in our home. It is made generally with sunflower or vegetable oil instead of olive oil and without any thickener like bread or potato. The technique which is used for this dish is exactly the same as for making aioli or mayonnaise. <br />I remember when my Mom used to buy fresh carp or pike, she would always ask the fish manger to choose a fish which had the roe. She would make it right away, while it was the freshest, of course we didn’t have a food processor, and the whole process was “Labor of Love”, but it took her not less than 1 hour or more until it became light, fluffy and airy. <br />This salad Is mostly enjoyed spread on a fresh slice of bread, after drinking a nice small glass of vodka or brandy. The first thing that true gourmets always do after sitting at our table is look for this fish roe salad, to satisfy their taste buds with a real culinary relish. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
