Answer 1:
Yes, it’s salty and crunchy; we also have a red variety that’s a little better.
If you enjoy fish eggs, herring or cod is a better choice.
Milts are a type of fish spunk that we enjoy on toast.
Answer 2:
It’s salty, crunchy, chilly, and only slightly fishy. The texture and crunch appeal to me. I like to eat it with deviled eggs and masago on sushi. I also use it to make salmon hors d’oeuvres with cream cheese and horseradish. To eat with crackers, I create a chilled crab dip with caviar on top. Salmon egg caviar is something I enjoy.
I’ve never had genuine costly caviar, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to try.
