Nope. The English word for fish eggs as food is "roe", in this case, salmon roe. Caviar, sturgeon roe, is called caviar, not roe.

I see.

One follow-up question then.

Here is what my cursory googling has just reported:

(1) "salted salmon roe" - 37,500 instances
"salted salmon eggs" - 4,040

(2) "fried salmon roe" - 117,000
"fried salmon eggs" - 40,900

Looks like salmon
