Salmon roes, or "fake caviar". There's a whole story about that, involving going to country A to neighbouring country B through country C just to smuggle stuff, while the driver (my then girlfriend) was drunk as a skunk.
It tastes fishy, a bit salty, but I liked it. It pops on your mouth. I'd rather eat deep-fried roes though.
For those wondering (as I was a moment ago)... unfertilised fish eggs of any species are roe. Caviar is the unfertilised, and cured, eggs of sturgeon.
Worth noting that plenty types of roe are edible, not just the ones that can become caviar-like. Some are really good when breaded and deep-fried, although they spill a lot while frying.
