T. Marzetti Romanoff Caviar, Black Lumpfish, 2 Ounce, (Pack of 3) By

I'm not a connoisseur of caviar. This was the first time I tried it for a dinner party on deviled eggs and they were a hit. I received so many compliments and many of my guests never tried caviar before because of people saying it's fishy or salty etc. But they loved it and the others who have tried caviar before said it's not top shelf but it wasn't bad either. Yes, it's salty but it's tasty. I didn't add any salt to my hors d'oeuvres and it balanced out perfectly. I wanted to test them out before hand and tried the recipe on the side of the box.. Water crackers, whipped cream cheese, caviar, radish thinly sliced with a tiny sprig of dill... delicious. I will branch out and try others but this one was a great purchase. I will buy it again.

Good but salty to the extreme

Avoid at all cost!! I am SO disappointed with this caviar. Primarily because it was sent without any type of refrigeration. I found the package sitting on my front porch. I took it in and immediately refrigerated the item. I was hesitant to eat it but it smelled fine and tasted delicious. Until about 1-2 hours later when I was violently ill with vomiting and diarrhoea, classic symptoms of food poisoning! I can’t even return it. I used to order caviar from Amazon in the UK all the time and it was always delivered with a small ice pack. But not in California in summer? I wish I could get my money back!

This is exactly what I wanted and expected for the price, (since I can't afford the expensive Caviar.) Just the right amount of salt and fish taste. Small eggs that pop when you eat them. I once tried salmon caviar and it was soft and gooey like bait eggs, I threw those out. For what I like and wanted these are perfect. I am very pleased.

I love caviar, especially on crackers or blinis and cream cheese or sour cream. These are good for beginners because of the price. Yes, I’ve had very expensive caviar, and yes, I prefer it, but this product serves quite well, especially for dips or spreads. If you find it too salty you can rinse it in a strainer to remove much of the salt. I would gladly eat true sturgeon caviar at 100 x the price but I’d rather eat Romanoff lumpfish caviar and spend the savings on the grandkids.
