The official advice on eating taramasalata in pregnancy
The NHS doesn't warn against eating taramasalata in pregnancy, so it's up to you whether you choose to eat it.
Taramasalata is usually made using salted or cured cod roe (eggs). The NHS says that raw fish is safe to eat if it's been salted, pickled or smoked, but it isn't completely clear whether that also applies to the eggs. You may prefer to avoid it to be on the safe side.
If in doubt, you can always ask your midwife.
