I am very disappointed with the quality of Premium Ikura KING salmon caviar. This is the second package of 3 that I opened and it is of the same poor quality. Caviar is not medium dry, has an excessive amount of fluid, it is just a swimming in fluid, no nice pop, not crispy, not even close to the one I ordered before.

I grew up eating lightly salted fresh king salmon roes. This product was a total disappointment for three reasons. (1) Not From This Year’s Catch – the photo on the website displays King Salmon Roe looking FRESH. So I ordered 2 trays (17 oz each) on June 22, 2023 and paid $148 which qualified free 2-day shipping. The roe was completely FROZEN, not due to the dry ice being used in the shipping box but due to the date processed was on August 2022 – it sat in their freezer for 10 months. (2) Too Salty- salt content is shown as 2.6%. But the roe was saltier than those salmon roes and Ikura dishes served on many Sushi restaurants I have been to in several U.S. states. (3) No Nice Pop. No Crisp – because salmon roes were completely frozen and shaped like a brick in a transparent plastic tray container, before eating, it had to be DEFROSTED for spoon scooping. Defrosting makes them soft. Only “fresh” salmon roes, not defrosted ones, are capable of providing nice pop and crisp taste. The Ad is misleading.

Never ordered King Salmon roe. Always opted for the pink one. Bu to my surprise, this one is on a par with my first choice.
Love the pop and the taste!
