A century ago, American Caviar was so abundant, it was used in bars as peanuts and snacks are today.

America produces several grades of Caviar. We consider American Caviar to be highly acceptable and worthy of praise. The Caviar produced in the United States can be described from high quality Fine Wild Sturgeon Caviar and excellent garnish quality Caviar.

At the turn of the century, Caspian Caviar had become very scarce. In order to maintain the flow of supply, a greater emphasis was regained in producing American Caviar. Generally a product of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, American Sturgeon aka Shovelnose, and Paddlefish aka Spoonbill Caviar were acceptable sources to stable the demanding consumers in terms of Quality and appearance. Today we also carry American Black Bowfin, which is a bold and unique Jet Black Caviar.

WHAT MAKES OUR AMERICAN CAVIAR SUPERIOR:
We apply the Astrakhan process in the production of our American Caviar.
We supply the salt and material in order to replicate traditional Russian methods.
We oversee all aspects, from the fisherman, production, shipping, grading, packing.
We ensure unparalleled quality standards and compliance to ensure ethical and professional dealings.

Unlike Europe, in the US it's accepted to grade fish roe derived from species other than the Sturgeon as Caviar. Caviar Merchant Company follows this American tradition with some restrictions and only provides the finest Quality American Caviar.

In addition to the traditional Black American Caviar, we incorporate Wild Alaskan Salmon Roe in our supply. From crisp cold and clear waters, Salmon Caviar is an excellent enhancement of flavour, texture, and high protein Caviar.
