imagine little bubbles of fishiness that crunch and pop as you chew them, they're quite light compared to say, salmon roe or caviar and very clean tasting. plus being one of the smaller fish eggs they look amazing, heaped up like that

Oooh, fish eggs? They look nice.

Technically-vegetarian food (dairy, eggs, etc) is the best kind. <3

trying so hard not to poke the vegetarian premise here...

gah, meat good, eating baby things good

OMNOMNOM CHILDRENS

ahem

yeah, not sure how you justify fsh eggs as vegetarian but if you can good for you. i guess it depends on your personal vegetarian ethos...

i'll have you eating veal and venison one day my dear....

vegan = no eggs
veggie = yay eggs

I've never eaten fish eggs before, but I can't see any moral reason not to, unless they kill the fish to get them?

while they don't kill the fish to get them specifically they are taken from fish that have been caught (i believe)

also chicken eggs are unfertilised the majority of the time, fish eggs aren't

Hm, that's interesting. I'd probably avoid them in that case.

i'm trying to debate whether i should have just let you enjoy them or whether i was right to tell you now...

depends, if you're vege because you don't want animals being hurt then you could argue it's ok, as they are a by product that's going to be produced anyway and if an animal is going to be killed you may as well use all of it...

on the other hand if you just don't want to eat anything that has the possibility of being a living thing then i guess you can't, which is a pity, because they're yummy

I don't eat anything that's been killed to obtain it.

The "it'd just be killed anyway" argument is a fallacy, as by eating the produce of the killing, you're funding the continued practice, regardless of whether you're eating primary or secondary produce.
