What is crab roe?
To put it in simple terms, crab roe is the egg masses present inside a crab's body. The type of roe varies from hard to soft. Crab roe is shiny, orange in color, and very aesthetically appealing. It's also known by the name of crab caviar. When roe is mixed with salt for preservation, it turns into caviar.
