FAQ

Caviar is a highly perishable delicacy and should be stored in cold, refrigerated temperatures (26°- 38° F) with minimum air exposure.

For the utmost quality, we recommend leaving the caviar in your fridge UNOPENED until you’re ready to consume it.

Marky’s Caviar is freshly packed per order and is recommended to be consumed within the first 3 days of receiving the product for optimal flavor and quality.

However, an UNOPENED tin of sturgeon caviar has a refrigerated shelf life of 4-6 weeks, while non-sturgeon caviar has a refrigerated shelf life of 2 weeks and a frozen shelf life of up to a year.

Once opened, caviar can retain its freshness anywhere from 5 to 7 days.

Black sturgeon caviar should never be frozen. However, all non-sturgeon caviar such as salmon roe, trout roe, tobiko, masago, etc., can be put in the freezer. If you decide to freeze your non-sturgeon caviar to serve it at a later time, keep in mind that the caviar may lose its texture, egg size, and flavor profile upon thawing.

 Fish roe that is from a sturgeon is considered black caviar because the eggs are commonly darker in color. Red, orange, and even yellow fish roe from salmon and trout is known as red caviar despite not actually meeting the traditional definition for caviar. See more on the difference between black caviar and red caviar here.

We ship all of our refrigerated and/or frozen products with enough ice packs to keep the package cool for the duration of time it takes for it to arrive to your home. The gel packs are designed to be melted by the time you open your package and are ready to put your caviar into the refrigerator.

Marky’s Caviar may be served in numerous ways according to one’s personal preferences. A traditional way to serve caviar would be on top of a blini with a dollop of crème fraiche, alongside a glass of champagne or a shot of vodka. Additional accompaniments can range from hard boiled eggs, to quail eggs, to green onions, but the possibilities are endless. Caviar pairs seamlessly with almost any food that can use a touch of brine in flavor. We suggest serving your caviar using a mother of pearl spoon to ensure an ideal flavor. Using a metal spoon to serve caviar may result in an unsavory, metallic flavor due to oxidation. You should keep your caviar over ice when serving, we recommend investing in a caviar server to do so.

Not all types of caviar are considered Kosher. Marky’s Caviar currently offers its valued customers two 100% Kosher Certified caviar options, including the Black Whitefish Caviar (16 oz) and Salmon Roe (2.2 lb). Both caviars come with a Kosher Certified symbol to assure consumers that both the actual product and the production of it adhere to all Kosher Law requirements.

Yes, pregnant women can enjoy the wonderful taste and benefits of caviar, but only if the caviar is pasteurized. Marky’s Caviar would be glad to pasteurize your caviar upon request, if needed, by placing a pre-order with one of our customer service representatives.
