Seattle Caviar Company

A fantastic experience served by Brittany. We tasted quite a variety a caviars and enjoyed learning and experiencing each. I will definitely return.

Excellent caviar I liked the salmon the paddlefish and the golden whitefish if you don’t want to go for super high end caviar or if you want to mix it up and try something new. Osetra and Beluga have their place but I kong of prefer to try new things.

Such a cute place! I love caviar but this was my first time doing a tasting. They brought out samples on little abalone spoons. And you have a score card just for fun. Then a small little plate with caviar pairings. And of course it is all served with champagne!
It is not filling so you will need a meal after, but so fun!

Great intro to caviar! The space is very warm and inviting and the staff is very laid back, but engaging. We did the «off the spoon tasting» at $ 10 per person. It was a great deal and very educational. The staff provided lots of info on each offering and even included recipe selections. It was refreshing to not have a big sales pitch and feel pressured into buying something — though we will definitely be back to purchase some salty sea goodness soon!

On Saturday afternoon, my friend and I stopped by Seattle Caviar Company for a caviar tasting. We were welcomed by Brittany. She was very informative and super nice!!! It was nice and a very educational experience. For $ 10, you get to taste 8 different types of caviar!
Thank you!!!

We’d been planning this tasting for 3 months, having just moved away from WA for the other coast, we wanted something super opulent to look forward to on our visit back.
$ 25 for caviar tasting (includes champagne!) and we got a wonderful crash course in the differences in caviar tastes and origin (6 types of caviar!) What a wonderful experience and the staff was not only helpful but accommodating for our friends that were running late. There are 3 seats at the bar, a low table with 2 chairs and standing room for 4 at the counter. The shop and staff have great personality and help make this unique experience something to remember.
We ended up ordering some paddlefish, truffle butter and a jar of duck fat to be sent home– we’ll be cooking up an opulent storm in no time!

Foie Gras, Champagne, Caviar, and more! They even provide ice packs and cooler bags for safe transport of purchased goods from the store to your fridge. Good service. I would like to see the ambiance in the shop improved — its very stark and functional.

Hard to pass this up at $ 10 a tasting. For another $ 10 you can also have a glass of bubbly to accompany your tasting. What a wonderful treat to come across! Cute shop and fantastic, knowledgable, unpretentious service. I have found a new love! We will be back soon!!!

Saw the sign and decided to walk in to see what this place was about. The hostess was an absolute delight giving us the «Caviar 101», and just being an extremely friendly person overall.
We did the caviar tasting which was $ 10 to try the following caviar varieties: whitefish, ikura, baerii, white sturgeon, white sturgeon 2, and osetra. She also gave us a flute of sparkling water (we opted out of champagne).
They also have quail eggs for a reasonable price (can’t remember exactly).

It was a very pleasant experience. The service was top notch. Our server was knowledgable about the offerings. I definitiely brought some home!
At 11:30 on a Saturday, it was harm and humid inside. I run warm– which never helps.

How could we possibly turn down $ 10 /​person caviar tasting?!
The Seattle Caviar Company offers a fantastic variety of caviar, including classic sturgeon caviar and similar-​to-​beluga osetra caviars. We each did the tasting and added the flutes of champagne (technically ours was a cremant — delicious!). Brittany was our caviar guide and started us with the whitefish, similar in texture as but milder in flavor than tobiko (cod roe). Then came two types of ikura — salmon (familiar since I love sushi) and trout, which was surprisingly more buttery than the salmon ikura. Before moving on to the sturgeons, we tried the paddlefish, which had smaller pearls and thus less «pop».
Now for the sturgeons — this is where it started getting extra special. The Siberian had a noticeably different flavor than the more mild, simpler caviars we just sampled. The Idaho was buttery. The California was saltier than the Idaho with a nutty flavor. The Amur was definitely more complex, with an unusually fruity and nutty flavor to it. The Osetra from Germany was my favorite of them all. It was complex, with a great texture and the perfect balance of buttery and briny. The most expensive by ounce was the Osetra from Israel. This is considered to be the next best thing to the now-​banned beluga caviar.
It was a great experience and I’d love to do it again! I highly recommend adding caviar tasting at the Seattle Caviar Company to your visit to Seattle. If you’re locals, it’s very easy to find just off Eastlake. Lucky for me, they ship their caviar, foie gras, and truffle products in dry ice. :) And you know they’ve been around for a long time because they have the BEST domain name — c’mon,
! Do it!

A friend and I checked out Seattle Caviar for the first time this morning and we had such a lovely time! We took advantage of the $ 10 tasting plus $ 10 flutes of wonderful French Champagne.
Our hostess was a delight – knowledgeable, attentive and the perfect person to educate us (as caviar newbies) in an enthusiastic, unpretentious way. We learned a ton, notably the fact that caviar (like wine) is very much a matter of personal taste… the varieties were so different from each other. I would highly encourage anyone skeptical of eating fish eggs to give Seattle Caviar’s tasting a shot as for us it really cleared up misconceptions about the delicacy.
My $ 10 tasting fee was waived as I ended up buying a 2 oz. jar of Ikura salmon caviar ($ 10). My purchase was packed in an adorable custom Seattle Caviar mini-​cooler with ice and and ice pack! Looking forward to dressing up my scrambled eggs for breakfast tomorrow…

I am so appreciative and grateful that Seattle offers such a gem as Seattle Caviar Company. First, it’s nice that there is a destination for ingredients for your fancier dishes from the Rover’s cookbook. Also, as noted by other Unilocalers, they offer a CAVIAR TASTING — [Insert crowd roar here] — for $ 10 or free if you purchase a jar of caviar. Do it, do it, I say (the tasting, that is). You elevate your palate each and every time you do.

I came here because a sophisticated 11-​yr old kid was visiting from out of town during his spring break. He was on a caviar kick and here was this great place we could walk to to taste different varieties of caviar.
We were greeted by the sweet, friendly woman behind the bar. She asked if we (I) wanted to add bubbly to my tasting. I declined. The kid did too.
We tasted 6 different kinds of caviar. I forget what the price range was but we ended up getting the next to highest in price: 2 oz for $ 85, I think. I let the kid choose. (He later said the priciest one was his fave but didn’t think I should spend that much money.) We added blinis and also bought a jar of truffle honey. Since we made a purchase, the tasting charge ($ 10 pp?) was removed.
I love that it was packed in the cute little cooler bag with dry ice for us to take on our walk home. We ended up making a stop at delicious Serafina for a bite to eat for about an hour or so. When we got home, we were able to enjoy the still very cold caviar and blinis. It was such a delightful experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. 4 stars because of the high prices, but I guess that’s par for the caviar course!

YUM!
We came here totally on a spontaneous whim It’s right next door to Ravish — popped on in and ended up doing a caviar tasting with a side of bubbly.
Tastings are $ 10/​person and an additional $ 10 for the champagne.
The tasting consisted of a variety of caviar (about 6 – 7). The portion sizes were delicious healthy spoonfuls to taste. I enjoyed all of the varieties we tasted — and the tasting fee is waived if you buy some (which we did). The lady that provided the experience to us was very friendly and professional. We walked out of the tasting with our little container of delicious caviar — they packed it up in a small black to-​go tote with ice packaging and everything. So cute.
They also have other delightful extravagances at the store: fois gras, truffle salt/​oils/​honey, … in addition to caviar. Definitely worth a visit!

«There is more simplicity in the man who eats caviar on impulse than in the man who eats Grape-​Nuts on principle.»
The wife and I were in need of a good «date day» so we went out to Seattle for some good food. I originally found this place while looking for a local Foie Gras supplier. There she was Foie Gras, Truffles, & Caviar! Amuse-​bouche.
We decided to go for the tasting which was $ 10 per person and additional $ 10 if you want the champagne. We have had very little educational experience with caviar, we just knew whatever kind we had last time we LOVED. So we were also in search of that wonderful caviar that we had.
The tasting consisted of at least 6 different caviars, starting from least to greatest. I did not care for the first few; they were very basic but did not have stand alone qualities. The lower levels were also not Sturgeon, so technically… not caviar (at least not in «real» culinary standards) Once we got into the Sturgeon I was greatly satisfied. As we went up the scale in quality and price the flavors became more and more magnificent.
Than there it was, the moment where the hairs on my neck stood up and my taste buds were excited, that was the taste, the taste I was in search of. One minor detail, it was Osetra… Meaning for a little 8oz container you are going to pay $ 1000.00. I didn’t care, I bought 24 ounces, I just sold the owners my car… Yeah right, the lady did give me another nice sized sample though! There is some method to the pricing madness. It takes that specific Sturgeon around 20 years to produce its first «caviar» not to mention all the work it takes to get the caviar.
We ended up buying a different type of Sturgeon which was still very good but no hair standing. My only wish is that they would have served the caviar on a blini with some crème fraîche. I know they serve it alone to get the whole experience, just would have been nice to have it served like that as well. They did not charge us for the tasting since we purchased some caviar which was really nice.
Trust me, not too long ago I would have ever touched caviar, but you must try it, also understand that not all caviars are the same, some are bad many are great, just depends on what you like. I would have never came here had I not been served some amazing caviar at a party, I am so thankful I had! I cannot wait to be back. Please do some Foie Gras and Truffle tastings!

Home of the unsustainable forbidden low-​karma foods for when you actually want to eat something nice in Seattle.
Selection of caviar is expected, given the name. Also there is local fresh foie gras, assorted champagne, and many other high-​end delectable.
Their service is also top shelf. Come here when you want nice things and a pleasant experience acquiring them.

You either love it or you don’t.
These guys are legit. Great product. Great service.
I wish all animals had ovaries like Caspian Sturgeon.

I’ve been ordering via mail order from the Seattle Caviar Company for about 9 years now. And I have never been let down.
Caviar is not something I eat a lot of (nor suggest that anyone do), but now and then it is a must. I’ve found it to be very addicting and a perfect pairing with wines and cheeses.
If anyone is considering going the mail order route, in my experience, everything has been exceptionally fresh.
One of my pet peeves is with overly or improperly process caviar that was treated roughly, resulting in the rupture of the roe. I want a pop with every single piece, and I have not really managed to find anything else available in mail order, which is of such consistent high quality as here. Apparently they are very carefully selecting (and must be sampling) what they offer, before they offer it. I have to give two thumbs up and 5 stars, and now that I think of it, I need to get online and place my most recent order…

Yes, you do need an ounce of $ 185 Osetra caviar.
Stepping into this little luxury shop was like stepping into my fantasy world.
All my favorites in one tidy package: you got your caviar, your foie gras (both slab and tureen), and your champagne okay, make that MY champagne. I do hate to share.
The pretty girl behind the counter was more than delighted to serve my nine-​year– old all the caviar, I mean the good stuff, too, that she could eat (which was surprisingly a lot!).
Once you make your selections, you get your delightful delicacies all packaged up in Caviar Co. branded cooler bags with Caviar Co. branded ice packs. Perfect for toting a PBJ while simultaneously letting the riff raff know that sometimes you dine on something nicer…
I should dock them a star for the obnoxious parking situation. They have 4 parking spaces in the garage below, and 3 are taken up by their own vehicles — one of those being a fricken boat! But I won’t because of all the yummy stuff I have waiting for me in my fridge…
