This package contains two pieces of premium Taiwan farmed mullet roe (karasumi or bottarga), each weighing 5.64 oz for a total of 11.3 oz. Mullet roe is a highly prized Asian delicacy made by salting the roe pouch of grey mullet fish and drying it in sunlight until it achieves a firm, fudge-like texture. Also known as wuyuzi in Taiwan, this sun-dried specialty is renowned for its complex umami flavor profile that is slightly bitter, sweet, and salty. Traditionally enjoyed as an accompaniment to alcoholic beverages, karasumi is typically soaked in rice wine or kaoliang liquor, lightly toasted, then sliced thin and served with spring garlic, daikon radish, or scallions. It can also be grated over pasta for a luxurious seafood enhancement, pan-fried with rice wine to soften the flavor, or enjoyed in thin slices with sake or beer. This gourmet delicacy is considered one of the three chinmi (珍味) of Japan and represents one of the most expensive appetizers in Asian cuisine.
