I am working at a Japanese sushi restaurant over the holidays.
In the sushi training, there is a plate of 'fish egg'.
Customers asking what it is, and I tell them it's kind of 'fish egg', then they say something starting with 'C'. I think it was 'cavi' somthing which I can't recall now.
The colour of the eggs are a bit red, and it's normally placed on the top of a rolled sushi.
Could anyone guess what it is?
Thanks in advance.

All fish eggs are roe, but [true] caviar is specifically the roe of the female sturgeon and some other large fishes.
I would think what you find in the Japanese restaurant is roe from any of a number of different fish species. The red roe is likely to be Tobiko [flying fish roe]
