mentai furansu pan（明太フランスパン）
French bread = baguette = furansu pan
Garlic, mentaiko, mayonnaise, and butter are put in a ficelle and baked fragrantly. I used plenty of mentaiko that I received as a souvenir.
I don’t use butter very often because it’s expensive, but I used a lot of it in this recipe, which gave it a very rich flavor.
This mentaiko French bread is very popular and can be purchased at many bakeries in Japan.
What kind of foods mentaiko??
“Mentaiko” is a salt-cured walleye pollock ovary, that is seasoned with a liquid seasoning made from chili peppers.
For those unfamiliar with seafood, spicy fish eggs may be easier to understand.
Mentaiko is widely recognized as a specialty of Fukuoka, but its roots are said to be in Korean kimchi.
It is often eaten with rice, bread, or pasta.

Are mentaiko and tarako the same?
The difference between mentaiko and tarako lies in the seasoning. Mentaiko uses chili peppers for seasoning, but tarako does not.
Another difference is that tarako can use madara（cod） as well as suketoudara as raw material.
But in most cases, both are made from Suketoudara (pollock).
Mentaiko seems to be called pollack roe or cod roe in English. I think Pollock roe is more appropriate.
Supplement: What is Agootoshi??
Alaska pollock eggs suitable for making mentaiko are called “Mako“. The mentaiko brand that uses this Mako is “Agootoshi”. Ago refers to the jaw, and otoshi refers to dropping.
“Agootoshi” is derived from “It’s so delicious that your jaw will fall off”.
What is ficelle? ?
The ficelle is characterized by its narrower shape than the bucket.
While baguettes are generally 70 to 80 cm long, ficelle is generally about 40 cm long, which is shorter than other French breads.
