there is a variety from mullet instead of tuna, which is described as follows:
\"Also called Sardinian caviar, bottarga is made with salted and pressed mullet roe. It looks like a square brownish-orange salami and keeps for months in the refrigerator if well wrapped. Bottarga is sliced paper-thin and served with olive oil as an antipasto, and it flavors one of Sardinia\'s most famous pasta dishes, maccheroni alla bottarga.\"

Of course, as always with traditional food, one could consider giving the term untranslated, with an explanation between brackets
