Tip #1 – Watch your spoon
Caviar served with a metallic spoon will be tainted with an unpleasant, rusty flavor. Considering how expensive caviar is, you never want to risk affecting the flavor of the dish by using the wrong serving equipment. Spoons made out of mother of pearl, plastic, or bone will work best, though you can always attempt to use crackers or other foodstuffs if you don’t have any available nonmetal spoons lying around.
Tip #2 – Avoid clashing flavors
Caviar is often eaten by itself, and its spectacular flavor makes it smart to do so. But many times people are afraid to serve caviar by itself, either because they’re intimidated by the dish or are scared that houseguests won’t understand that caviar can be eaten plain. If you do decide to serve caviar on crackers or with other food, be sure to avoid serving it with condiments or other food types with strong, pungent flavors such as onions.
Tip #3 – Don’t avoid complementing flavors
There are many differences in opinion over what to serve caviar with when the decision’s been made to pair it with something else. For a classy pairing, try eating caviar with a light, bubbly champagne. Or if you want to delve into the Russian tradition, you can always serve caviar with some chilled vodka.
Tip #4 – Watch where you put that
Caviar spoils easily, so it’s essential that you cool or refrigerate the caviar if left out for more than just general serving time. The greater the day’s heat is, the more concerned you should be with keeping the caviar cool, so that it preserves both its taste and its freshness.
