Tobiko Meaning

Tobiko is a type of flying fish roe (fish eggs) commonly used as a garnish or ingredient in Japanese cuisine, particularly in sushi and other seafood dishes. The word 'tobiko' is Japanese and can be broken down as follows:

  • Tobi: This part of the word means 'to fly' or 'flying'.
  • Ko: This part of the word means 'child' or 'small'.

So, 'tobiko' literally translates to 'flying fish roe' or 'flying fish eggs'. The name likely comes from the fact that flying fish are known for their ability to leap out of the water and 'fly' above the surface using their fins. Tobiko eggs are small, brightly coloured and have a crunchy texture with a slightly sweet and briny flavour. They are often used to add colour, texture and a burst of flavour to dishes like sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi.
