Smoked eggs are a special kind of food. They are made by cooking eggs or fish eggs using smoke. This gives them a unique, smoky flavor. You can make smoked eggs in a few ways. Sometimes, people smoke eggs that have already been hard-boiled. Other times, they smoke raw eggs while they are still in their shells. Smoked eggs can also be a tasty appetizer. For this, hard-boiled eggs are peeled, soaked in a flavorful liquid (marinated), and then smoked.
Smoked Fish Eggs
Some types of caviar (fish eggs) are also smoked. For example, smoked cod roe is very popular in Norway. Other smoked fish eggs include mullet roe and sturgeon roe. There's even a special liquid made from raw, frozen salmon roe that can be smoked.
