Whitefish Roe/Sikrom
Whitefish from the Great Lakes produce the Whitefish Caviar, also called American Golden. The Whitefish Caviar (Sikrom/Siianmäti) has a crunchy texture, a crisp clean flavor, and is a beautiful apricot color. The golden color and small crisp texture make this caviar an added asset to any meal. These small, crisp berries have a delicate, lightly salty flavor and are wonderful on new potatoes, with sour cream or simply alone. Whitefish Caviar is excellent on crackers, but it also adds flourish to a wide variety of foods. It is often added to sauces and spreads, or used as a garnish for hors d’oeuvres, salads, and fish dishes.
