White pellets on TJs sardines


First time eating sardines and saw this. Is it normal/safe to eat?

    Ask yourself how fish reproduce. Then ask yourself what little white balls are reminiscent of.

    It’s the roe. Very tasty with a nice texture in my opinion.

    “Well, you see Billy, sometimes, when one sardine loves another sardine very much…”

    Fish eggs. All good, it’s lucky, like getting a double yolker egg.

    tbh the eggs always grossed me out even though i know they’re harmless so i give them to my cat 😅

    Nuri makes a Sardine Roe tin that’s 40-50 euros. Consider it a bonus.

    Not sure why, but I’ve found roe in Trader Joe’s sardines more than any other brand.

    First time lucky! Took me years before I found any. I understand being surprised by the roe though

    I’ve eaten “pregnant fish” before.

    Some kind of asian delicacy.

    It was mushy.

    All the lemon sauce ones I got from Walmart had roe, I wasn’t a fan of the texture sadly 🙁
