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.
