"Sardinian Gold" - Authentic Sardinian Bottarga/Kosher - approx. 5.86oz

Delicious

Loved it, tasty, tender and good quality. But small looks bigger in the picture.

I very much recommend this high quality botarga, an absolutely mouthwatering piece of heaven that leaves you craving more!And the seller couldn’t be better!! He was helpful beyond my expectations!

I watched a lot of YouTube mullet row cooking videos and wanted to try it. This one turned out to be half the size of those I’ve seen in the videos, about 5 inches in length.Well packaged with nice golden colors. I split off a half to try out the cooking method I saw in the food videos. Soaking it in strong liquor to soften up the skin so I can peel it. Worked well enough that I was able to get most of the skin off. Then I pan fried it in the same liquor I soaked it in until the liquor evaporated. That just seemed to rehydrate the roe a little, so I sprayed a bit of cooking oil in the pan and lightly pan fried it to get a little crisp on both sides.Too impatient to wait for it to cool down completely, I started slicing it when it was still warm. Not advisable if you care about presentation. In my case, it crumbled a bit as I was cutting. I didn’t mind since I’ve been snacking on the slices as I made the cuts. Originally bought it try as a snack anyways so it met my expectations. I was just a little disappointed about how tiny it turned out. But now that I know what 2.79-3.49 oz size looked like, I know to search for at least twice that size for future snacks. A lot of pasta recipes add grated Borttarga, and some Taiwanese fried rice recipes used sliced or diced mullet roe to fry together with the rice. Both kinds of recipes looked good in the food vids, but snacking on the sliced Borttarga is much easier to get the great taste with minimal ingredients and effort.

I ordered is thinking I’m getting a high-quality item, but when I received it after sitting in my mailbox for four days!!! I was shocked of how tiny it is and that it didn’t come with an ice pack or anything I felt uncomfortable to eat it but I opened it and it smells fishy and slimy. I reach out to Customer Service explaining my discomfort and concerned that it was not backed and that I would prefer to return it please. Their answer was that ice pack with me in one day (Lame Cheap excuse for an overpriced item) . They told me I need to have the package unopened after obviously I explained it is open and that I would have to pay for return Mailing. I complained to Amazon and explained the situation. I have no idea how they are expecting customers to try their product to see if they like it without opening the package!!!! They’re just making it impossible for you to return the item and get your refund. That’s the bottom line. You wouldn’t even bother buying them. I’m telling myself now nearby store or European store and get it.

Absolutely lovely. So delicious.

I thought I was purchasing a raw steak of salmon fish roe. I wanted to get it raw so I could prepare it myself. Instead, I received the roe that was already smoked. My bad for not investigating the product more closely. It's good to cut into slices and eat on a bagel, cracker, etc with schmere/spread such as cream cheese.

Many years ago, a friend introduced me to sliced bottarga and garlic. I haven’t had it again until today, and it still tasted as wonderful as I can remember. Now that I know that it’s available on Amazon, I will be able to continue enjoying it.
