What it is

Caspian roach (known across Eastern Europe as vobla) is one of the most traditional dried-fish snacks in the region. The fish are caught at spawning weight — when females carry plump roe — then lightly cured, salted and air-dried until they take on that deep amber colour and concentrated, savoury flavour the variety is famous for.

Each fish in this pack arrives whole and ungutted, so the roe stays inside. Peel back the skin and you’ll find firm, salty flesh that pulls cleanly from the bone, with the prized caviar packed under the belly. The classic way to enjoy vobla is at room temperature with a cold beer — though it also works flaked over rye bread with butter, or shredded into a Russian-style salad.
