We understand buying caviar online can be daunting. When you buy caviar online from Fulton Fish Market, you can rest assured you are getting the best caviar available. This is the same high quality caviar that is being served in Michelin star restaurants.

WHAT IS CAVIAR?

Caviar traditionally refers to fish roe (eggs) that are harvested from the sturgeon, a large fish that is native to the Caspian and the Black Sea. However, caviar can also be sourced from other fish, including salmon, trout, and paddlefish.
Caviar comes in several grades based on color, texture, and size of eggs. The most expensive caviar sold in stores is caviar from sevruga or beluga sturgeons. These two types of caviar contain the largest eggs, although they must be harvested at exactly the right time to get the best flavor and texture.

CAVIAR VS ROE

Which is: caviar or roe? All caviar is roe (fish eggs) that has been salted but not all roe is considered caviar. Typically caviar is salted roe from the Acipenseridae (Sturgeon) family. However, from a regulatory perspective any salted roe can be called caviar and must also state the name of the species that the roe is from. 

WHAT DOES CAVIAR TASTE LIKE?

Caviar is usually black or red in color and tastes slightly salty with a creamy, nutty, or fish flavor.
Caviar is often served with blinis or toast points and crème fraîche. A dollop of caviar can add a luxurious touch to any dish.

WHY IS CAVIAR EXPENSIVE?

The main reason caviar is expensive is because it is a rare and delicate product.
Caviar must be harvested at precisely the right time to get the best flavor and texture, making it labor-intensive to produce. All these factors combine to make caviar one of the priciest treats in the world.
Caviar is generally served as a luxury dish at special events or holidays. But caviar aficionados enjoy caviar with meals any time of day, paired with their favorite foods.
Fulton Fish Market’s wide range of caviar available ensures there's something for everyone looking to buy caviar online.
