Toast Skagen Garnish Crossword Clue Answer
ROE is the answer to the “Toast Skagen garnish” clue.
The eggs of any marine animal, like fish and shellfish (crustaceans and mollusks), are referred to as roe. After assembling the Toast Skagen with an assortment of shrimp salad (Skagenröra), it is garnished with a spoonful of whitefish roe alongside and lemon.
