Wikipedia reckons that masago is the roe of the Capelin and that the roe of the flying fish is called Tobiko.

I've never seen that fish's eggs on a menu. It would seem that a smelt and a flying fish are two completely different fish. A Capelin seems to be another different one. Maybe Capelin isn't very common here, so they substitute what is?

From the Wikipedia entry:

"The capelin (Mallotus villosus Müller 1776) is a small fish of the smelt family found in the Arctic Ocean in large quantities."

Ok, smelt it is then....

ok, I gotta weird food problem-
I've been challenged to come up with a cocktail that contains bacon. the cheat is that it only needs to be called bacon, so the fake stuff or anything bacon-like is allowed.

I considered cooking bacon wrapped around a chopstick and using it like a stir stick in a bloody mary, but I'm not sure that's such a good idea.

any other bacon freaks out there?

Does having bacon around an olive dunked in it count? If so Bacon Martini...

I would think that you could modify a Bull Shot to add bacon pretty easily.

I would think it'd be good in an oyster shot.
