red caviar

Orange fish pearls

Red caviar is the salted roe of salmon, prized as a delicacy particularly in Russian and Japanese cuisine.

The large, bright orange-red eggs have a briny, slightly fishy flavor and a distinctive pop when bitten.

Unlike the more expensive black caviar from sturgeon, red caviar is relatively affordable and widely available: We spread red caviar on blini with sour cream.
