I love this stuff - its one of those umami tastes and I certainly have some in the store cupboard. It keeps fantastically well in a jar. But - I really don't use it enough. I sometimes add it to fishcakes and I used it once in a risotto (that was good).

Do you use bottarga and if so, what dishes do you use it in?

Never heard of this, I use fish sauce all the time which we all know as anchovy based. But never this. We have a new Mediterranean shop opening soon near me. I will make enquiries. I've been using sumac a bit lately so I need a new taste to try.
Thanks for the tip.

I've had it only a few times, on pasta, a salad, and just to taste with crackers.

I happen to like fishy things, but it's not for everyone.
