Description
This traditional bottarga is cured grey mullet roe harvested from the waters of the Florida Gulf Coast. It provides a concentrated element designed to finish dishes with Mediterranean style and precision.
Craft & Origin
Founders Seth and Mic Cripe source the striped grey mullet near Anna Maria Island using hand-thrown cast nets. The roe sacs are washed, salted, massaged by hand to eliminate air pockets, and pressed. The roe is then air-dried to an optimal density, preserving a coastal preservation technique. This meticulous process mirrors the centuries-old methods found across Europe.
Flavor & Texture
It delivers a deep brine with notes of sea oil. The texture is dense and firm.
How to Use
Grate it finely over olive oil pasta, seafood risotto, or scrambled eggs just before serving.
Why We Like It
We value this product as a domestic interpretation of a Mediterranean classic that directly supports Gulf coast fishing heritage.
