Tobiko is the larger fish eggs, (the name just came to me as I looked at the take out menu)
You can probably get 4 pieces for about 10 dollars -- where they will give you a little bit of japanese rice, surround the rice with some nori (dried seaweed) and put in a spoonfull of the fish eggs.
If nothing else, you will find out if you like the texture and general flavor enough to even attempt the 100 dollar + an ounce of the real caviar.
(Tuna, Hamachi, and Sweet Shrimp are the real outstanding items on the sushi menu)
