No. Milt. It's fish semen. Caviar is eggs. This is just cum. I understand the confusion. Because gay.
I looked it up and the reason I don't know what it is is because it's not at all eaten in Scandinavia like you claimed.It's called milt and it's weird as fuck looking.
"Milt (sometimes spelled melt[1][2]) or soft roe also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm, used as food. Many cultures eat milt, often fried, though not usually as a dish by itself. As a food item, milt is farmed year-round in nitrogen tanks, through hormone induction or photoperiod control.[3]
In Indonesian cuisine, the milt (called telur ikan 'fish egg') of snakehead and snapper is usually made into kari or woku.
In Japanese cuisine, the testes (白子 shirako 'white children') of cod (tara), anglerfish (ankō), salmon (sake), squid (ika) and pufferfish (fugu) are eaten.
In Korean cuisine, the milt (이리 iri) of Alaska pollock, cod, blackmouth angler, bogeo, and sea bream are eaten.
In Romanian cuisine, the milt of carp and other fresh water fish is called lapți (from the Latin word lactes) and is usually fried.
In Russian cuisine, herring milt (молока, moloka) is pickled the same way as the rest of the fish, but eaten separately, sometimes combined with pickled herring roe. Various whitefish soft roes are usually consumed fried and it is an inexpensive everyday dish.
In Sicilian cuisine, the milt of tuna is called lattume and is used as a typical pasta topping.
In British cuisine, cod soft roes are a traditional dish, usually fried in butter and spread on toast."
