When sitting down at a large Greek table, where there should be twice as many meals as there are guests, be assured there will be plenty of fish and seafood on this table. Especially if this table is set near the seashore. And I assure you, it won’t be without taramosalata. An affordable Greek delicacy is one of the most favourite snacks. Taramosalata is so delicious when spread on a still warm corn bread, put in mouth and eaten with the famous Kalamata olive.

My tips and tricks:
The taste of smoked meal always arouses appetite, and taramosalata is the meze that is served before the main course. If you use the smoked roe instead of salty one, then you would have enough appetite even for a neighbour’s dessert 🙂
