Red Pearl Salmon ( Red ) Caviar in Can ( 454g / 1 Lb )

For large quantity canned roe, this is excellent. There are way worse quality products on the market that cost way more. If you are comparing this to ikura sushi-level roe, you will be disappointed, of course - it is not that and not meant to be that. The eggs are softer and saltier in this case, as is common and traditional for this style roe. But they are intact and still have a good pop to them, which is a sign of good product. As someone who grew up in the post-Soviet era with salmon roe frequently on the table for celebratory occasions, this is certainly good enough to be a treat. You can still use it for your poke bowl, just be prepared for something really salty, and maybe cut back on the soy sauce. It is more commonly enjoyed on a buttered bit of crusty bread, or on a crepe or a blini with some sour cream. My husband and I absolutely went ham on this can and will buy again next time we need a treat. We recommend English muffins as a potential vehicle to get it to your taste buds. And good quality unsalted or low salt butter. Because it is so salty, it is also not going to spoil as fast as some people on here think ("eat within four days" or whatever). Just put it in a glass or a crock, or a mason jar on the coldest shelf of your fridge and eat within 2 weeks.

Real salmon red caviar.Great value: in fact, one of the cheapest offers in the US.Tasty.Moderately salted.Great packaging.I highly recommend!

I purchased this item to take up to the family holiday long-weekend, and no one could eat it-- at all. I have purchased other brands which were light, solid eggs, and not too salty, but this can was orange mush for the most part, and repulsively salty. The flavor was wrong, the texture was wrong, and the salt level was very wrong. The only good point was that the product was so displeasing that I had no compunctions about throwing out the 90% that was left. Ick. Big ick.

There have been many reviews regarding this product and seller. I found some of the reviews to be questionable and went, with hope, for the purchase. Please note that my purchase is Amazon Verified.I love Salmon Roe. I know the high-end and have been to the low. This 1 pound (!) product is delivered in a very nice 'tin', with a easy pull-top lid and plastic cover-lid, for storing after opening. I suggest opening it, and then moving the Roe to a chilled glass jar for enjoying at your leisure.The delivery (mine from Washington, the state) was perfect. It was marked as perishable, and included tracking via FedEx. It arrived with the ice-pack, still fully frozen, in a small cooler, and the roe can was icy cold.Quality Salmon Roe fans know that a crisp fresh Roe costs about 80-100 bucks per 6-8oz tin. This product is a full pound of Roe (delivery cost included!) for a total of 48 dollars (as of this review).So compare. The taste of this product is excellent. It's not too fishy, and not too salty. It's a very clean, well-rounded Roe experience. The Roe is perfect with cream cheese and capers (I just did it), or scrambled with eggs, or in a sushi roll. In fact, the only difference between this Roe and high-quality restaurant Roe is texture.This comes in a can, folks. It's jammed packed with delicious Roe BUT it does get a bit smooshed. Not badly smooshed but enough that it's not on-its-own presentation quality at a party. BUT in any dish you're serving to guests, where the Roe is part of the whole, your guests will never know the difference between high-end and the flavor of this product. And for enjoying at home, where you can, without guilt, take as much as you want, this Roe is an extreme bargain.Summing up: Delivery perfect. Product a 10 on taste, a 5 on texture. Perfect for you anytime, or in guest-recipes that mask the texture.Cheers!

Excellent product! It arrived very quickly and I'm definitely pleased with it. Some reviewers have said that the price is high, but for what you are getting I don't think it is. It's so much cheaper than buying salmon roe as a side at my favorite sushi place. I really enjoy getting that as a side but it isn't cheap for how much you get from any place. I wasn't sure that this was the salmon roe (ikura) that you get at a sushi restaurant but I decided to take a chance anyway. Luckily, it is and tastes just as good! My only complaint is that it is extremely salty, but I understand why so this isn't really a problem. I'll strain them with water and they should be perfect afterwards.Update: I tried straining them, but it severely lessened the amount of roe. This is probably because there are a lot of broken eggs that formed a syrup and I washed this away, leaving only the eggs. For my second can, I just decided not to strain it and deal with the saltiness. It isn't really that bad once you eat a few bites. My only complaint is that I eat these too fast for how much they cost.
