Once a delicacy of the East\u2014first harvested by ancient Persians and later popularized by Russians\u2014caviar has evolved into a global culinary obsession. No longer limited to blini and cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, fish roe now tops everything from amuse-bouches to desserts. \u201cIt\u2019s become less fussy than it used to be,\u201d says Sarah Meyer, the former Hollywood producer who founded Los Angeles\u2013based Roe Caviar<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s really fun to serve it with potato chips or on a lobster roll. There are so many ways to eat it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s still a signifier of luxury on Michelin-starred menus, caviar now dresses up such quotidian treats as the famed grilled cheese at Caviar\u00a0Kaspia<\/a>\u00a0in Paris and New York; tater tots at the private New York Yacht Club<\/a>; chicken nuggets at the Korean-American-influenced COQODAQ<\/a> in New York City; and\u00a0karaage<\/em>-style fried chicken at Cayao<\/a> by Richard Sandoval at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo Del Sol.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caviar is mixing it up with globally inspired dishes and ingredients, too. At San Francisco\u2019s Z & Y Peking Duck<\/a>, the traditional Beijing Peking duck is paired with Regiis Ova Caviar<\/a> (co-founded by chef Thomas Keller and caviar expert Shaoching Bishop), a 12-year-old roe with buttery and nutty flavours, cured for anywhere from three to 12 months. Mediterranean flavours are added to the mix at Evelyn\u2019s<\/a> restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, where the caviar service presents Regiis Ova roe with labneh in place of cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dessert menus are sweet on caviar, too. Los Angeles\u2019s Verse<\/a> restaurant puts caviar on cheesecake, while Uoichiba<\/a>, also in L.A., offers a dollop of Astrea caviar atop its Monaca ice cream sandwich featuring salted yuzu sorbet and cheesecake.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caviar could be paired with almost anything. However, there is actually a wrong way to serve it. \u201cThe general rule is to avoid using silver; it can leave a faint metallic taste,\u201d says Hermes Gehnen, founder of N25 Caviar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to keep things old-school and classic? At Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club, Surfside, Florida<\/a>, sommelier Christian Zaffarano loves pairing caviar from N25 Caviar with Laurent-Perrier Grand Si\u00e8cle No. 26 Champagne. \u201cThe acidity and minerality keep your palate fresh after every salty, briny bite,\u201d he says. And at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, guests at the speakeasy-style Veil & Velvet<\/a> lounge use a playful \u201cPress for Caviar\u201d button to summon tableside service of The Only Caviar<\/a> (actor Aaron Paul\u2019s caviar brand). The purest way to consume the delicate fish roe is with little \u201cbumps\u201d served straight from the tin to the back of the hand, allowing the caviar to warm slightly before it\u2019s enjoyed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
