Tamasalata

[Vanilla77]

Do anyone know if I should eat Tamasalata while pregnant? It's made of cod roe and not sure whether I should avoid it or not but I have a massive craving for it at the moment.

Hi Vanilla, depending on what you read the answer is yes & no!

Taramasalata contains uncooked fish roe & therefore if you were to eat it in a restaurant where you don't know the source I would say leave well alone.

Alternatively, if you bought it from your local supermarket the ingredients will almost certainly be pasteurized & therefore be of very low risk.

There seems to be nothing definitive on the web saying yes or no
