Milt or Shirako a Japanese delicacy - An example of the strange or weird food eaten by people around the world
Milt or soft roe also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm, used as food. In many cuisines, milt is served fried. In Russian cuisine, herring milt ("Moloka") pickled the same way as the rest of the fish, but eaten separately, sometimes combined with pickled herring roe. In Japanese cuisine, the milt ( shirako 'white children') of cod (tara), anglerfish (ankō), salmon (sake), squid (ika) and pufferfish (fugu) are a delicacy. In Sicilian cuisine, the milt of tuna is called "Lattume" and is used as a typical pasta topping. In Romanian cuisine, the milt of carp and other fresh water fish is called "Lapți" (from the Latin word "Lactes") and is usually fried.
