ikura = big eggs (tuna)

mentaiko = little eggs

 

See, I would have said:

ikura = salmon roe (big eggs)

tobiko = flying fish roe (little eggs)

m-something=crappy small eggs sometimes broken from mullet?

but you lived in Japan, so maybe that is what they are in Japan?

yeah i figured that was why.....any sushi without fish in it?

 

Yeah, you have the standards: fried tofu, egg omlette, squash, cucumber, shrimp, eel, clam, ocotopus, squid, crab, the elusive mountain vegetable. Often veggies are served in rolls only. There are veggies used in combination with fish, for taste or color, or both. Many high end places use veggies I haven't even seen or heard of. The sky is the limit.

i was only sure of the name of the sushi, i couldnt tell the difference between a tuna egg and salmon egg if you had it in front of me.

i dont eat fish so im the worst person to ask.

basically i know what they are in japanese but never cared to look what they are in english.

 

so i looked it up and yes you're right ikura is salman roe not tuna.
