Give Thanks, Give Caviar: Luxe Ideas for Holiday Entertaining

This Thanksgiving, skip the predictable spread and elevate the holiday with premium caviar from The Caviar Co. Whether you choose a tasting flight for bumps and garnishes, a soirée-size tin to bring to a gathering, or a glossy spoonful to crown your long-weekend pancake stacks, caviar is an effortless way to turn ordinary moments into memorable ones.



Why caviar belongs on your holiday table

A little caviar goes a long way. Its briny, nuanced flavor lifts hors d’oeuvres, finishes cocktails, and transforms simple dishes—blinis, deviled eggs, roasted vegetables, or creamy scrambled eggs—into conversation starters. For brunch lovers, caviar on pancakes or smashed potato latkes adds a playful, indulgent touch that reads celebratory without complicated prep.

Sample dishes and pairings

  • - Blini with crème fraîche and Classic Oscietra — buttery, nutty pearls complement the rich cream.  
    - Mini potato latkes topped with Siberian Reserve — firm pearls add texture and clean brine.  
    - Deviled eggs finished with Hackleback or Paddlefish — savory, affordable luxury.  
    - Smoked salmon crostini with Salmon Roe (Ikura) — vibrant color and poppy bursts of flavor.  
    - Creamy scrambled eggs with a spoonful of Oscietra — silky, indulgent breakfast or brunch.  
    - Roasted asparagus or roasted cauliflower with a sprinkle of roe — simple vegetables made festive.  
    - Cocktail “bumps” (see serving guide below) using small amounts of Siberian Reserve or Oscietra for toasts.

Why we partnered with The Caviar Co. and why to order from us!


We selected The Caviar Co. because their commitment to sustainability, traceability, and rigorous quality control matches our standard for exceptional flavor. Ordering from us gives you curated, restaurant-grade selections, convenient portion options (flights, soirée tins, single-serve), refrigerated shipping, and gift-ready presentation—everything you need for stress-free holiday entertaining.


Here are some of our best tips on how to serve caviar bumps at your Thanksgiving event — a simple guide
1. Chill: Keep tins refrigerated until just before serving. Caviar is best served cold (but not frozen).  
2. Use non-metal utensils: Serve with mother-of-pearl, bone, or gold-plated spoons to avoid metallic taste.  
3. Provide neutral bases: Offer blinis, small toasted toasts, plain potato chips, or lightly buttered toast points so the roe shines.  
4. Add simple accoutrements: Crème fraîche, finely chopped chives, minced shallot, lemon wedges, and hard-cooked egg whites/yolks let guests customize each bump.  
5. Portion for bumps: Present small tasting spoons or tiny dishes with 3–6 pearls per bite for a true “bump” experience. For a flight, arrange 3–4 varieties in small tins or spoons and label each.  
6. Timing: Serve bumps during cocktail hour or as a prelude to the meal so they act as a celebratory opener.  
7. Educate briefly: Place a small card describing each variety and suggested pairings so guests know what they’re tasting.

How to plan and place your order
Decide whether you want flights, soirée tins, or single-serve portions, then select your favorite varieties. Order early to guarantee delivery before Thanksgiving—holiday inventory is limited. Don’t forget the long-weekend brunches; one glossy spoonful will turn pancakes, eggs, or smoked fish platters into memorable moments.
