Product Description
This Mediterranean delicacy is sometimes called the poor man's caviar. Bottarga, in this case, is the roe pouch of the grey mullet.
In September, well fed mullets in the ponds of Cabras on the Central Western Coast of Sardinia swim into the nets of fishermen of Fratelli Manca, and the process begins. The mullets' eggs are skillfully extracted, washed, purified, salted, and hung to cure.
The color of the roe ranges from gold to amber. The taste is savory, briny with a hint of almond.
Grated bottarga can be used straight from the jar to season pasta, bitter greens, mashed potatoes, rice or scrambled eggs.

Best pasta dish ever,

This review is from: Bottarga Di Muggine (Grey Mullet Roe) - Grated - From Cabras, Sardinia (Misc.)
Kinda pricey but adds an unbelievable level of complexity to pasta - way better than any tomato sauce based pasta I've had here in the states. And it's uncomplicated to make too. Extra virgin olive oil, slivers of garlic, red pepper flakes gently sauteed in a saucepan, add bottarga, then al dente pasta (I used spaghetti). Add a little pasta water to loosen if needed. Its what anchovies do to the background of dishes without tasting fishy.
Suggestion for the seller - if you have recipes for bottarga, post them!
