Sun May 04 12:36:00 -0700 2008 160626 alejandraordersdessert 1 3655531 I usually buy mine at Di Palo, where the grey mullet roe (rather than the tuna), vacuum packed whole lobe, is about $90 a pound these days, or about $23-$30 a "lobe", depending on the weight. I've also seen it at Buon Italia in Chelsea Market, at Dean & Deluca Prince St. (VERY expensive), and a Spanish bottarga at Despana on Broome Street - I don't remember the price off hand, but I think it was in line w/ DiPalo. I find that the one lobe lasts quite a while for us - maybe three pasta dishes for two. Sun May 04 13:03:09 -0700 2008 3655484 10985 MMRuth 2 3655863 Oh this is wonderful! Thank you so much for your help. I'll definitely check out those stores (probably start at Buon Italia) tomorrow.
