      <content>Han Ah Reum market on E 32nd St. sells it in those rectangular plastic containers that takeout places often use to package slices of cake. I've never tried it, so I can't speak for its freshness, but in general, the seafood and meat sold at Han Ah Reum are high quality. </content>

      <content>Wow, I had no idea it was a preserved food product: http://www.chow.com/stories/10200

So never mind that bit about freshness! </content>

      <content>While it is ok to freeze, thaw, and refreeze tobiko, it does have an impact on the flavor and texture as each time you do this the tobiko loses moisture.  Also, if you thaw the tobiko in keep it in the fridge without freezing it after use immediately, it will still spoil in a few days (you can smell it).

The impact of freezing and thawing is less significant to masago.</content>

      <content>Just a quick note that some places sell masago, which is similar to tobiko but inferior and cheaper.  Check the label first before you purhcase.

Sunrise Mart and Katagiri carry both.</content>
