<ul><li>Flying fish are a curious family of ray-finned fish found living primarily in marine surface waters, able to speedily propel themselves out of the water and glide significant distances (50 to 400 meters) through the air thanks to their streamlined bodies and oversized, wing-like fins. They are thought to have developed this adaptation in order to escape predation by other fish at the cost of exposing themselves to less-common airborne predators.</li><li>Our tobiko caviar is produced from farmed Cypselurus heterurus, also known as Cheilopogon heterurus (commonly called the Mediterranean or Blotchwing flying fish). Despite what its common name might imply, this fish can be found throughout the world's tropical and subtropical oceans, although the largest populations are located in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.</li><li>The roe of this fish is tiny and crunchy, larger than capelin roe but smaller than salmon roe, and filled with a pleasantly smoky, mildly sweet, and slightly salty flavor. It's prized in Japan as a tasty garnish typically used atop exquisite sashimi, sushi rolls, crab cakes, salmon fillets, and other seafood dishes.</li><li>Shelf Life Refrigerated 4 to 6 weeks. Once opened please consume in 2-3 days.</li></ul><br><br>Flying fish are a curious family of ray-finned fish found living primarily in marine surface waters, able to speedily propel themselves out of the water and glide significant distances (50 to 400 meters) through the air thanks to their streamlined bodies and oversized, wing-like fins.
