The reproductive gland (sperm sac) of male fish, especially when filled with sperm; also can refer to the sperm itself.
From Old English milt or milte, possibly related to 'melt,' referring to the soft nature of the organ. The word has been used in English since at least the 14th century.
Fish milt is so nutrient-rich that it's considered a delicacy in Nordic and Japanese cuisine—diners specifically seek out male fish during spawning season to eat this creamy, rich ingredient!
