Explore Our Caviar Alternatives
A caviar alternative can offer many of the visual and textural qualities that make caviar so appealing, while introducing completely different flavours and types of fish roe. These versatile ingredients are perfect for adding a luxurious finishing touch to dishes without always relying on traditional caviar.
Our selection includes lumpfish roe, salmon caviar, tobiko and Avruga, each offering its own distinctive flavour, colour and texture.
Serve your chosen roe on Melba Toasts or Croustades with Smoked Salmon for an elegant canapé, or pair with blinis and crème fraîche for a classic presentation.
Faux Caviar & Fish Roe
Faux caviar and other caviar substitutes are an easy way to introduce the appearance and experience of caviar to a wide range of dishes. Our alternative fish roes are particularly popular for canapés, sushi, seafood starters and contemporary cuisine.
Bright orange Salmon Caviar has large, juicy pearls with a rich, salty flavour. Serve it simply on Cucumber slices with Cream Cheese, or use it to add colour and texture to seafood dishes.
For a smoky, savoury flavour, try Spanish Avruga. Made from herring, these delicate pearls have distinctive smoky and citrus notes and are delicious served on toasted bread or as a sophisticated canapé topping.
Tobiko & Japanese Flying Fish Roe
Our Natural Japanese Flying Fish Roe, Tobiko, is a versatile ingredient that goes far beyond sushi. Its attractive red-orange colour, subtle salty and smoky flavour and characteristic crunchy texture make it an excellent caviar substitute for creative dishes and canapés.
For additional flavour and colour, try Wasabi Tobiko or Citrus Yuzu Tobiko. These flavoured roe varieties can bring a fresh, contemporary twist to seafood dishes and Japanese-inspired cuisine.
Lumpfish Roe & Mock Caviar
For an impressive canapé, combine Bite-sized Blinis with Crème Fraîche and either black or red Lumpfish Roe.
Lumpfish roe is a popular imitation caviar and caviar substitute, offering a striking appearance and delicate salty flavour. It is ideal for topping blinis, canapés, eggs and seafood dishes, making it a versatile ingredient for professional kitchens and entertaining at home.
