Last night I went out for pizza and came across something on a menu that I had never eaten before—bottarga. I quickly assumed it was a type of Italian cheese and proceeded to order a pizza topped with that, fennel and mozzarella. However, I was very wrong in my assumptions. Bottarga is NOT Italian cheese. It’s dried fish eggs (tuna eggs to be exact)!!! Definitely a delicacy that requires an “acquired taste….”
