Soften the stale bread crumb with milk for 5 minutes, then squeeze it in your palm until no liquid drips.
Grate the onion and lightly squeeze out its juice.
Blend the fish roe, bread crumb, onion, lemon juice, and white pepper in a food processor.
Pour in the olive oil in a thin stream and mix until the taramasalata turns glossy and spreadable.
Transfer the taramasalata to a serving bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to settle.
💡 Tip: If the fish roe is very salty, soak the bread briefly in milk rather than warm water before squeezing it; the flavor feels rounder for a Turkish palate.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve taramasalata on a meze plate with optional toasted bread, cucumber, and olives.
