Is caviar haram or Halal?
Caviar is considered permissible to eat in Islam, as it is the eggs of fish. The only instance in which it is considered haram is if the eggs become unfit for consumption. Additionally, caviar made from sturgeon fish is considered haram. It is therefore important to ensure that the caviar you purchase is from a fish that is allowed to be consumed in Islam.
Why is caviar not Halal?
Caviar is not considered Halal because it is the roe of sturgeon, which is a fish that does not have scales. According to Islamic dietary laws, only fish that have scales can be considered Halal. Caviar is often harvested from wild sturgeon, which can be difficult to determine if it is from a species that has scales or not, thus making it difficult to guarantee that it is Halal.
Is flying fish roe Halal?
Yes, flying fish roe is considered Halal by Jafari Shia Muslims. The eggs from flying fish are typically harvested from the ocean, which is considered Halal according to Islamic law. Additionally, flying fish eggs are usually considered Kosher by Jews according to Halakha.
What is fish roe made of?

The eggs are typically cured and salted before being used in dishes, and are often served on their own as an appetizer.
