About

I love cod’s roe, but you rarely see it on fishmongers’ slabs or menus these days. The sustainability issue may have taken it off the culinary map, but I see no reason to disregard the roe of a sustainably caught fish.

Ingredients

150-200 g smoked cod’s roe
1 tbsp freshly grated horseradish
50-60

Method

Thinly slice the cod’s roe (unless it’s soft enough to spread). Mix the horseradish with the butter. Toast the bread on both sides, spread generously with the horseradish butter and top with the cod’s roe.
