Often at the festive table you can see another "overseas" salad with squid. With caviar dishes are found quite infrequently. How to use it better, we will analyze. Red caviar is in a special place among an incredible amount of delicacies. Previously, this gourmet dish was an attribute of the royal tables.

It was then that red caviar first began to appear on the tables of citizens living in St. Petersburg (Leningrad) and Moscow. Today, the taste of this product is appreciated by all residents of our country from Kaliningrad to the Far East. In just a few years, caviar has become one of the “shock” positions for exports to Japan and European countries. Nowadays, the production of red caviar is monopolized by the Russian Federation.
