More about Fish Roe Rice Bowl

Albap is a common menu item at snack bars and Japanese-style restaurants. The roe is usually flying fish roe (날치알), sometimes dyed in several colours. Mix it while the bowl is still hot so the roe pops and the rice at the bottom turns crispy.

Recipes vary between restaurants. If an ingredient matters to you, ask before you order — or show a diet card.
