What Is Tobiko?
Tobiko is the roe of flying fish and is commonly used in Japanese cooking. The tiny eggs have a distinctive popping texture and a clean, salty flavour that adds both colour and contrast to a dish.
Tobiko is especially popular as a topping for sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi.

Orange Tobiko
Orange tobiko is the classic variety, with a vivid orange-red colour and a mild, briny flavour.
It works beautifully as a garnish for California rolls, sushi, poke bowls and seafood canapés, adding both texture and visual appeal.
Wasabi & Yuzu Tobiko
For something a little different, wasabi tobiko adds a sharper, peppery flavour, while yuzu tobiko brings a fresh citrus note.
These flavoured varieties are ideal for adding extra character to sushi platters, sashimi dishes and Japanese-style starters.
Tobiko vs Salmon Roe
Tobiko is smaller than salmon roe, or ikura, and has a firmer, crunchier texture.
Salmon roe offers larger pearls and a more pronounced burst of flavour, while tobiko is often used more as a garnish or finishing element.
For larger roe, explore our Salmon Caviar collection.

Tobiko works well in:
- sushi rolls
- sashimi
