what does caviar taste like

Caviar is a delicacy that comes from fish eggs, also known as roe. It is commonly served on a bed of crushed ice with a mother of pearl spoon, and can be eaten on its own or with other toppings such as onion, chives, and crème fraiche. The taste of caviar is often described as mildly fishy and salty, but it is not super fishy and has a mild fishiness and slight saltiness. The taste is more like ocean water, rather than in-your-face fish. The best quality caviar is mild and fresh, with no pronounced intensity, and has a buttery richness that is wholly unexpected. The taste of caviar is complex and difficult to describe, and can vary depending on the type of caviar and the quality of the product.
