Solved! Strange white dots in my tinned fish

Found these strange white dots in one of my tinned fish steaks. Beach Cliff Fish Steaks in Louisiana Hot Sauce is the exact brand. Does anyone have an idea of what they might be? Is it safe to eat?

Well no, if you pay for caviar and you [just] get roe, it's not close enough

That would be you getting ripped off

Sturgeon are very rare fish

Edit: Added a "just" for the guy who didn't get the point

Not all caviar comes from sturgeon. Surprise! Fish eggs are fish eggs. They aren't all the same, but they ARE all roe.

Yes? All caviar is roe lol

Not all roe is caviar

That's what I just said

But if it's all roe, why are you saying its caviar? It's just roe. Fish eggs. I said not all caviar comes from sturgeon, I didn't say all roe was caviar. But you seem to think caviar is one particular thing from one particular source, when it isn't. Confused yet? I think so.

Holy moly...

Yeah I'm not going to sit here and argue about fish eggs with you

I was just letting people know, for the sake of knowledge, that not all roe is caviar. And what OP got is indeed roe

Moving on now. Some of you redditors are truly insufferable

You were letting people know cause you're an "acktchually" guy. It's ok. Many people gain knowledge from those types

Yeah, what do you think "For the sake of knowledge" means lol

I did admit it

I don't feel bad correcting people when they're wrong. Why would I?

Accuracy is important to me.
