Vegetarian Caviar??

Question

Caviar is made from fish eggs does that mean it's vegetarian??

Answer 1

Key word is the *FISH* eggs.

I don't know of any vegetarian that would eat them.  Sure that there are more than likely some out there that would - just that I don't know of any.

My view - no they are not vegetarian.

Answer 2

No, because unlike with hens who lay the eggs, the fish must be slaughtered to get at the roe (eggs).

Answer 3

prick all overwith a fork,put in the oven for

about half an hour or until they are REALLY

Answer 5

I know of something called Carolina Caviar that is also called Vegetarian Caviar... It isnt caviar at all..It is a cold salad made with Black Eyed Peas, onions, tomatoes and spices....

Answer 6

A true vegetarian wouldn't eat it. Those that call themselves vegetarians but eat fish and eggs would.

Answer 7

If they kill an animal to get it, it isn't vegetarian.

Answer 8

people who eat fish but not meat are pescetarians(i think thats how you spell it) not vegetarians, so no it is not vegetarian but there is probably some available.

Answer 9

It would be up to the individual.

Personally, as a vegetarian I would not, but as they are technically not fish meat, they could be seen as vegetarian.

Though I would be suprised to find them under the "vegetarian options" in a restaurant.

Answer 10

it made by roasting whole aubergines which are then skin ed and chopped and mixed lemon and garlic and seasoned with salt and pepper and a sprinkle of parleys. can be use as a low fat dip or with grilled peppers and so on .

Answer 11

no its not because the fish has to be killed to get at the eggs. chickens lay eggs and are not killed.
