Tips for serving caviar at home
Fortunately, serving caviar at home is quite simple. The most challenging aspect is waiting for your essential mother-of-pearl utensils to arrive if you don’t already own a set or have a specialty store nearby. Using anything other than this specific cutlery is the biggest mistake you can make, as metal spoons can impart their own flavor, and the right size is crucial for proper portions. Once you have that sorted, if you’re new to caviar, just dive in and gently roll the delicate eggs on your palate with your tongue. This isn’t a food to chew; instead, let the caviar melt on your taste buds, allowing you to savor each tiny burst of briny flavor. Repeat this mindful approach with every new type of fish roe you sample.
After that, you can explore various accompaniments. Blinis are a traditional choice, as are toast points, but you might also consider latke triangles for a richer, crunchier experience. To complement the caviar, crème fraîche or sour cream are popular options (the latter, with its higher fat content, provides a more indulgent experience), along with chopped hard-boiled eggs. When serving, remember to keep the tin (or small glass jar) chilled on a bed of ice if it will be out for an extended period, and pair it with icy vodka or, for an extra touch of luxury, Champagne.
