Searching for FISHY fish roe pasta dish (Italian or Japanese)

[Skillet Licker]

Bellavitae had a great one, but they closed. Basta Pasta has the standard tarako spaghetti or menteiko spaghetti. I'm looking for a real fish roe lovers pasta dish -- one that's not ashamed to be called "fishy".

If by pasta you also include soba, most of the city's soba joint has ikura soba, or ikura uni soba.

Donburi-ya has a stir-fried ramen w/ mentaiko...

THANKS, bottarga will do the trick. I'd not heard of Perbacco, but I look forward to trying it as well as the other recommendations.

Oestra and sea urchin sounds like a resplendent combination.

For a really great dish; Gustiamo NYC sells imported Bottarga from Sardegna as well as Sicilia. Preparing a simple superb pasta is no more involved than spaghetti, olive oil, red dry peppers, garlic, parsley, and of course Bottarga. Quick, simple, and. Delicious!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by "fishy," but at the tagliolini with osetra caviar and warm sea urchin sauce at Le Bernardin is pretty incredible.

It's a luxurious and indulgent dish, one of my favorites in the city. But I'm not sure if the OP is looking for a $70 supplement charge, especially on top of Le Bernardin's normal menu price. Top quality sea urchin roe and osetra caviar are expensive!

Aside from Babbo, Perbacco, Il Matto, and Bar Stuzzichini feature bottarga pasta dishes.

I loved the bottarga pasta at Babbo earlier this month (Maccheroni alla Chitarra with Oven Dried Tomatoes, Red Chiles and Bottarga di Muggine). No roe but deliciously fishy.

Bottarga is cured fish (usually grey mullet) roe...

I thought Skillet Licker might be looking for the raw spheres, but in any case I didn't know, so thanks for the clarification. Skillet Licker, if you have trouble getting a reservation you can try showing up early or waiting for a seat at the bar. Enjoy!

Yep, I thought you might have been thinking of fresh, uncured fish roe.
