Korean Fried Chicken and Caviar

Have you ever tried Fried Chicken with Caviar? It’s mind-meltingly good. There's a stigma that caviar is reserved for "preferred taste." It's my conviction that caviar can be enjoyed by anyone. It's nothing more than clean, salted fish eggs. And we seafood aficionados like myself go crazy over it. Similar to fish sauce, it’s umami, earthy, and briny; which makes it a super delightful garnish, such as brined olives, smoked salmon, or even bacon. If you love any of the aforementioned, you would love this Korean Fried Chicken, drenched in ranch dressing, and sprinkled with Tsar Nicoulai’s White Sturgeon Malassol Reserved Caviar, and Gold Pearl Salmon Roe.

Ikura Rice Bowl (Golden Pearl Trout Caviar)

This is my favorite way to eat rice; covered with Ikura (aka Pearl Trout Roe). Especially when it’s executed correctly, this dish results in beautiful alchemy of warm, fragrant rice; slightly chewy in texture, and perfectly seasoned with rice vinegar that is subtle sweet yet still savory; paired with the alluring saline, umami, and earthy flavors of delectable trout caviar. The addition of 24k gold makes this dish a little extra fancy, if you are trying to impress a guest. However, it's optional. *Disclaimer: this is not a traditional recipe.* Recipe li
