Roes of Codfish in Olive Oil

Roes of Codfish in Olive Oil

Eastern people associate cod roes with richness and happiness. We may believe it or not, but one way or another, this relationship will always be authentic! This delicacy enriches both body and soul and it is a pleasure we can happily repeat on a loop!

Olive oil was too full of himself, but he had good reasons for it. Facing the cod, he asked him, feeling superior: you owe me more than you think! What can I have in return? And the cod replied: “Relax and take it with a pinch of salt!”
