CAVIAR GUIDES

How Much Caviar Should I Buy?

Plan an introductory taste or a generous serving.

For a small taste

Allow roughly 10–15g per guest when caviar is one of several canapés or a first taste. A 30g tin can therefore introduce two people to caviar without making it the whole course.

For a generous tasting

Around 25–30g per person is a useful planning guide when caviar takes centre stage. A 50g tin offers about 25g each for two. Appetite and the rest of the menu can change the amount you need.

For a party

Multiply the portion by the number of guests and decide whether you want a tasting or a generous serving. Several smaller tins can help you compare varieties; larger tins can simplify service. Keep each tin chilled until needed.
