Potato skins with whipped cod’s roe and caviar
Potato skins were made for filling, and they go particularly well with this whipped cod’s roe, which is topped with salmon roe for an extra fishy touch. Use the insides of the potatoes to make another dish such as skordalia, or use to top a fish pie. These are fantastic served as canapés or as an element of a larger party spread.
