Talk:Roe

I've heard of 'male' roe.. Is this what it sounds like? Do people EAT that?

I think this page should have some disambiguation. People may come here to learn about "Jane Roe," the famous/infamous plaintiff of Roe v. Wade. ---Love, BDD

I can't stand roe. It's disgusting. And I like seafood.

What does this taste like? I once had sushi with a small amount of fish eggs on it, but i couldnt taste it

Species with edible roe
Does anyone know of a good list of fish species with edible roe? Is most roe edible? At the moment I'm trying to figure out the edibility of of white bass roe, with no luck so far. I've also failed to find similar information on other species. I think this would be good content for this article to cover. Thanks - Qatter (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Uni - roe or not?
This Wiki article makes several references to Uni (Sea Urchin) roe, yet the Wiki page about Sea Urchins specifically states that the only edible part of the animal is the gonads, which are mistakenly referred to as roe. One of the two articles is wrong...Galaxydog2000 (talk) 06:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

poisonuos sea urchin roe
Interesting to read about sea urchin roe توتيا in Lebanon, which this old man savored as a ten year old fresh off Roche in Ras-Beiruth in the late seventies, but haven't seen or heard of anyone consuming this exquisit delicassy since.

Any snorkler swimming off the Aqaba shore in Jordan, will attest to a veritable infestation of sea urchins (having to do with excessive port activity in what is the country's only outlet for its main exports, potash & phosphate). I do know for a fact how painfull the spikes of these Aqaba urchins can be, but have no clue if they are poisenous at all. Certainly sea urchin uni / roe is not part of the local diet whetehr for religious reasons or because it is a relatively novel species in that region.

Would that the author advises which, if any, types or sub-species of sea urchins are poisenous (spike stings) and do NOT have eadible roe (food poisening), and where exacty do the dark black long-spiked Read Sea Urchins fit into that sphere, before my taste buds drive me into a misguided culinary adventure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.186.236.46 (talk) 23:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Caviar is made from milt???
"'The term soft roe or white roe denotes fish milt. Roe from a sturgeon or sometimes other fishes is the raw base product from which caviar is made.'"These two sentences obviously do not belong together; caviar consists of fish eggs, not sperm. I've edited this to make more sense. Milkunderwood (talk) 02:02, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

"Taramá"
If the Greek word is to be used at all, it's "taramás" (ταραμάς) with an audible "s" - "taramá" is the accusative (object) form you use when you order it: "Tha páro lígo taramá" (Θα πάρω λίγο ταραμά), "I'll have some fish roe"). A similar example is "moussaka", which most English-speakers also wrongly stress on the first "a" (moo-SAH-kah): in Greek it's "moussakás" (μουσσακάς), but loses its "s" when you order it. The text also refers to "taramosaláta", which is a correct transliteration of the Greek ταραμοσαλάτα. But the facing photograph caption calls it "taramasalata", without an accent and with an "a" instead of an "o" in the middle - a common English corruption of the Greek word, as the main article on "taramasalata" (link from the photograph) in fact makes clear. In any case, I think this part of the article should be tidied up so that the information in it matches the "taramasalata" article without confusing the issue by introducing misspelled Greek.213.127.210.95 (talk) 15:43, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
