Very fishy and low quality

Buying second time from Global seafood. First when I bought the caviar was excellent ( bought for myself and my parents who live in different state). This year did the same so we can enjoy good quality caviar, but it was very disappointing 😞. First it came in a weird package ( picture attached) which seems suspicious and I thought maybe because of holiday they did not had time to pack it properly because a lot of people Buying it this season. But when it defrost it in refrigerator I open the package and strong fishy smell came out, and caviar was kinda liquid. I tried and was very disappointed 😞 it have very fishy taste, it is not tasty at all. My parents received same packaging and I kinda feel bad that I bought something like that for the Holidays. I am not sure why the quality of their caviar changed. Very disappointed.

Thank you for your review. While we’re sorry to hear you were disappointed, this product has received strong positive feedback, especially for its smaller packing size. It was produced in limited volume with special care.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Fresh Salmon Caviar | Fresh Ikura – Never-Frozen Salmon Roe

Fresh Salmon Caviar, also known as fresh ikura or fresh salmon roe, is reserved for qualifying ready-to-eat, never-frozen salmon caviar offered during the fresh season. Because availability depends on current fishing and production, the salmon species, origin, harvest timing, package size, price, and exact batch specifications may change with each release.

Currently sold out. We keep this page active between fresh runs so returning customers have one consistent product page for seasonal fresh ikura rather than multiple short-lived listings.

Fresh Ikura: Ready to Eat, Not Raw Unprocessed Roe

This product is finished salmon caviar that has been cleaned, cured, drained, packed, and kept fresh without a freezing cycle. It is different from our Unprocessed Salmon Roe, which is raw material intended for customers who understand how to clean and cure salmon eggs safely.

If you are looking for frozen or previously frozen ready-to-eat salmon caviar by species, compare the available products in our Red Caviar, Salmon Roe & Ikura collection.

Current Fresh Batch Information

  • Salmon species: Updated for each fresh batch
  • Origin: Updated for each fresh batch
  • Harvest / production date: Updated for each fresh batch
  • Ingredients: Updated for the current production lot
  • Pack size and price: Updated when inventory becomes available

Fresh roe can vary naturally in pearl size, color, membrane strength, sweetness, salinity, and texture. The specifications shown for the current lot should be used rather than assuming every fresh batch will be identical.

How to Serve Fresh Salmon Caviar

  • Serve chilled on blini, toast points, crackers, potatoes, or eggs.
  • Use as fresh ikura for sushi rice, gunkan, chirashi, or hand rolls.
  • Pair with crème fraîche, sour cream, dill, chives, or simple buttered bread.
  • Add after cooking so direct heat does not toughen the egg membrane.

Storage, Shipping & Seasonal Availability

Fresh salmon caviar requires continuous refrigeration and expedited cold-chain delivery. Follow the storage and handling instructions supplied with the current batch. Do not rely on a universal shelf-life or freezing recommendation because the exact formulation and packaging may vary by production lot.

Availability depends on salmon runs, fishing conditions, weather, harvest timing, processing capacity, and customer demand.

For more information about species, texture, curing, quality, serving, and storage, read our Salmon Roe & Ikura Guide.
