What is Ikura (Red Caviar)?

Ikura, also known as Red Caviar or Salmon Roe, is a highly sought-after delicacy made from salmon eggs. These vibrant, flavorful pearls are commonly used in Japanese cuisine, gourmet dishes, and fine dining experiences worldwide.

Unlike traditional caviar, which comes from sturgeon, Ikura has a milder, slightly briny, and buttery taste, making it a favorite for sushi, seafood lovers, and high-end culinary creations.

Types of Ikura We Offer

At Global Seafoods, we offer a wide selection of premium Ikura to satisfy every taste:

• Chum Salmon Roe (Keta Ikura): Large, firm eggs with a delicate, mild flavor.
• Sockeye Salmon Roe: Bold, rich flavor with a deep red hue.
• King Salmon Ikura: Buttery, smooth texture with a refined umami taste.
• Trout Ikura: Slightly smaller eggs with a subtly sweet taste.
• Coho Salmon Roe: Well-balanced flavor with a firm bite.
• Pink Salmon Roe: Lightly flavored, ideal for first-time Ikura eaters.

How to Identify High-Quality Ikura

When purchasing Ikura (Salmon Roe), you should always look for:

✔ Firm, glossy eggs: Quality Ikura should have a natural sheen and pop easily.
✔ Bright color: Vibrant orange to deep red hues indicate freshness.
✔ Mild ocean scent: A fresh, clean smell without strong fishy odors.
✔ No artificial preservatives: Look for wild-caught, salt-cured options rather than chemically treated varieties.

At Global Seafoods, all of our Ikura is wild-caught, carefully processed, and flash-frozen to preserve its natural flavor and texture.
