How to make Bottarga from fish roe

Ingredient, Seafood 1 Minute

Yesterday, at Sydney’s Fish Market, the fish roe caught my attention. I bought it at 35 AUD/kilo (approx. 10 AUD each) thinking something tasty would have come from it. Once at home, I decided to research how bottarga is made. Chef Stefano Barbato explains the surprisingly simple recipe on YouTube (in Italian).

  1. Cover the fish roe in salt in a box;
  2. Leave it in the fridge for at least 2 days;
  3. It’s ready: you can make beautiful and easy spaghetti with bottarga!

I will soon show you my results and make a post about spaghetti with bottarga, something to die for.
