    This is a classic Cypriot dip made of fish roe from carp called tarama. The roe should be beige in color. You can probably find this dip ready made called taramosalata at your local Greek market. Either way find it and make it, a lovely dip and a classical one to be part of the Cyprus meze.  YUM!
