Taramasalata is a traditional Greek dip made primarily from salted fish roe, usually from cod or carp, mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and bread or potatoes to create a creamy texture. It is typically served as part of a meze platter, alongside pita bread or fresh vegetables. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavor and is popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Variations exist depending on regional preferences and ingredients used.
