sealord > A display of kazunoko or salted herring roe at an intermediate wholesaler's stand in the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan.  Kazunoko is a traditional New Year festival food and a traditional gift.  

The Pacific herring, Clupea pallasii, lays its eggs in sheets on kelp (konbu).  The kelp with eggs attached is cut and pickled and sold as kazunoko-konbu, which is particularly delicious.  Some chefs refer to Kazunoko as "yellow diamonds" because of its high price.  Photographed in December 1988.
