I’m convinced caviar is one of those foods people pretend to like so they look sophisticated at dinner parties. It’s disgusting, overpriced fish eggs—stop showing off and give me real food that doesn’t taste like I’m chowing down on rotten tapioca pearls from the bubble tea of my nightmares.
Anyway, if you’re struggling with today’s NYT Mini Crossword, read on for some hints and the answer.

- Hint 1: Not all fish eggs are called caviar.
- Hint 2: The fully ripe eggs in fish ovaries.
- Hint 3: It starts with the letter “R.”
- Hint 4: ___ ___ ___ your boat.
I’m about to reveal the answer. Skip this part if you don’t want me to spoil it.
Got it? The answer to seven down in the Aug. 22 NYT Mini Crossword is “ROE.” Caviar is a type of roe from sturgeon fish, including Beluga, Hackleback, and Sevruga. It’s salt-cured and considered a delicacy.
Regular roe can come from almost any marine animal, such as salmon, lobster, and squid, and is usually much more affordable than caviar.
A little tub of Beluga caviar can set you back thousands of dollars. Stick to regular ol’ roe if you’re on a budget.
