Salmon Roe | Red Caviar from Chum, Pink & Sockeye

Our Salmon Roe selection features three exceptional varieties sourced from wild-caught Chum, Pink, and Sockeye salmon harvested in the cold, pristine waters of the North Pacific. Known collectively as red caviar, also called ikura, salmon roe is prized for its vibrant color, natural freshness, and satisfying pop, with flavor profiles ranging from delicately sweet to boldly briny.

Chum Salmon Roe

Oncorhynchus keta
Chum salmon roe caviar is renowned for its exceptionally large pearls, displaying hues from golden orange to deep amber. Its firm texture and rich briny-sweet flavor make it one of the most sought-after types of red caviar and a favorite for classic caviar service.

Pink Salmon Roe

Oncorhynchus gorbuscha
Often referred to as pink caviar, pink salmon roe caviar features medium to large translucent orange-pink pearls. It offers a clean briny taste with gentle sweetness, creating a balanced profile that works beautifully for sushi, canapés, and modern culinary presentations.

Sockeye Salmon Roe

Oncorhynchus nerka
Sockeye salmon roe caviar is distinguished by its small to medium pearls and deep, rich orange color. Its bold, ocean-forward flavor appeals to those who prefer a more intense and pronounced caviar experience.

All of our salmon roe caviars are prepared using the traditional malosol (malossol) method, meaning “little salt” in Russian. This gentle curing process preserves the roe’s natural flavor, texture, and aroma without overpowering its character. Because our roe is sourced from wild-caught salmon, subtle variations in taste may occur between harvests, reflecting seasonal ocean diets and natural conditions. These natural differences add authenticity and depth to each package.

Salmon roe caviar is ideal for gourmet entertaining, special occasions, or refined everyday enjoyment. Serve well chilled on sushi, blinis with crème fraîche, or toast points. For best results, use non-metal utensils and pair with chilled vodka, champagne, or a crisp dry white wine.
