About Fish, caviar, black and red, granular

Caviar is salt-cured fish roe (eggs), traditionally from sturgeon, served as a luxury delicacy. The tiny glistening beads burst with a rich, briny, faintly nutty flavor and are eaten in small quantities — on blini with crème fraîche, on toast points, or simply on their own from a mother-of-pearl spoon, since metal is said to taint the taste.

Per 100 grams caviar is quite rich — about 264 calories, nearly 25 grams of protein and 18 grams of fat — but it is almost never eaten in such amounts; a typical serving is a teaspoon or two. Caviar is a remarkable source of vitamin B12, and it also supplies omega-3 fats, vitamin D and selenium. It is high in both sodium (from the curing salt) and cholesterol.

Because it is cured and delicate, caviar is served chilled and unheated, and the better grades are eaten with minimal accompaniment so the flavor comes through. Its luxury reputation comes from the scarcity of wild sturgeon; today most caviar is farmed, and the term is also applied to the more affordable roe of salmon, trout, lumpfish and other fish.
