How to Serve Caviar Traditionally?

Caviar is traditionally served in small serving dishes called caviarets. The tiniest ones are used for the very best quality sturgeon roe, and larger dishes are used to serve lower grades of caviar.

Fine caviar should be served alone and at very extremely cold temperatures (chilled, but not frozen). The caviar should be placed in a non-metal bowl, which should then be placed on top of crushed ice.

It is critical not to use silver or other metal utensils or serving dishes, such as the caviar spoon, because they oxidize.

Typically, a large mother-of-pearl spoon is provided with each dish of caviar, so that guests can scoop the caviar out of the dish and into their mouth. Some people like to spread it on toast, or serve with blinis or other small, soft pancakes.

What to Have with Caviar?

Want to learn what to have with caviar or if you like the taste of caviar but want something else to complement it, look no further than this list. Here are ten delightful dishes to pair with caviar. 

1.  Salmon Mousse
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   The light and delicate texture of salmon mousse makes it a particularly wonderful companion with the creamy, salty osetra caviar flavor. You can serve this dish by itself or as an hors-d'oeuvre before a main course.
   
   
2. Smoked Seafood Platter
   
   
   
   If you're having caviar on its own, or with some other seafood-based dish like a crab salad, consider creating your own smoked seafood platter (smoked salmon). This is an easy and delicious way to incorporate the flavors of caviar into your meal.
   
   
3. Stuffed Eggs
   
   
   
   Another simple and classic caviar combination is with eggs - particularly stuffed deviled eggs. The rich creaminess of the egg yolk contrasts nicely with the saltiness of the caviar, making this a light and satisfying appetizer.
   
   
4. Buttered Toast
   
   
   
   All you need are a few slices of store-bought white bread and the ability to cut clean triangle shapes with a knife. Spread them with room temperature butter, then lightly toast them and top with siberian strugeon caviar, and voilà!
   
   
5. Pancetta Crisps
   
   If you're looking for something a little more substantial, consider making pancetta crisps to eat with your caviar. Simply cut thin slices of pancetta, bake them in the oven until crispy, and enjoy!
   
   
6. Asparagus
   
   
   
   This versatile vegetable has a naturally light and crunchy texture that works well with the savory flavors of caviar fish eggs. Simply steam your asparagus, drizzle it with olive oil or butter, then top it with a generous dollop of kaluga caviar for an elegant and refreshing side dish.
   
   
7. Cheese
   
   For an adventurous bite, the firm "pop" of caviar pearls contrasts with the chewy smoothness of the cheese. Serving cheese wedges or slices alongside caviar elevates the presentation even more. The most expensive caviar is Royal Osetra Caviar paired amazingly well with Fontina cheese. Royal Osetra Caviar prices from $200 to $1,000 per kg.
   
   
8. Pasta
   
   
   
   While it may appear to be an unlikely pairing, pasta and caviar are a culinary match made in heaven. Choose angel hair or capellini over thick linguine or spaghetti because they are thinner and lighter. The goal is to lightly coat the thin pasta strips with caviar rather than consume a large number of pearls in one bite.
   
   
9. Fruits & Veggies
   
   

   Lemon is the most common fruit to pair with caviar. Consider serving caviar with lemon wedges and fresh garden herb sprigs.

   Cucumbers, avocados, red onion, or cauliflower can be sliced into thin strips or circles, then topped with small scoops of caviar for a fresh and delicate bite. Vegetables are a low-effort way to make a big impression while also adding beautiful colors to the spread.
   
   

10. Chocolate
    
    

    When it comes time for dessert, try scooping some caviar on top of some white chocolate. It may appear strange, but trust us when we say it's delicious! You can try Kaluga and Siberian Sturgeon Caviar. You can buy Kaluga Caviar online and its price range from around $8,000 to $12,000 per kg and the Siberian Sturgeon Caviar prices range from $3,500 to $25,000 per kg.
