Caviar in Vancouver: Your Guide to Choosing, Serving, and Ordering from 7 Seas Fish Market
By James Heras
Some foods slip quietly onto the table. Caviar does something different. A small tin, a soft “click” as the lid comes off, and suddenly an ordinary night in Vancouver feels like an occasion.
If you are looking for caviar in Vancouver , you can find a full selection of sturgeon caviar and fish roe at 7 Seas Fish Market in Kitsilano or order it for delivery through 7 Seas Fish Market on Uber Eats .
At our West 4th Avenue shop you will find sturgeon caviars like Northern Divine from Sechelt and other carefully chosen imports. Beside them sit jars of salmon roe that many Vancouver home cooks already know and love. You can walk in and choose them yourself, or you can stay home, open the Uber Eats app, search “7 Seas Fish Market,” or use our direct link on Uber Eats, and have your caviar night delivered to your door.
Whether you are planning a quiet brunch, a chef-style tasting menu, a high-protein bowl after the gym, or a Champagne-and-crystal kind of evening, caviar has a way of making the moment feel a little more deliberate, a little more memorable.
Why Choose Caviar in Vancouver Right Now
Caviar Feels Special
There is a particular kind of anticipation that comes with caviar. You set the tin on ice, gather a few simple things around it, and people at the table lean in before the first spoonful is even served. It is not a big production. It is a few careful bites that ask you to slow down and notice what you are eating.
In Vancouver, we are already spoiled with fresh seafood. Adding caviar or roe is less about formality and more about letting one small ingredient carry a lot of flavour. A spoon over soft eggs, a little on a roasted potato, a few beads of smoked salmon or a flavour compliment for Uni, and suddenly a plate that felt familiar becomes something people talk about later.
For a long time, caviar belonged mostly to restaurants and hotel dining rooms. The tins at 7 Seas are there to change that. You can enjoy caviar in the same way you enjoy a good piece of fish or a special cut of salmon: at your own table, in your own kitchen, on a night that might otherwise have been just another dinner.
Four Ways People Enjoy Caviar
For home cooks
If you love cooking at home, caviar is an easy way to nudge your usual recipes into restaurant territory. A spoon of salmon roe on avocado toast, a dollop of roe on top of a pasta with butter and lemon, or a few grains of sturgeon caviar on roasted baby potatoes can turn a simple meal into something that feels planned, even if you pulled it together after work.
For chefs and serious entertainers
Chefs and experienced hosts often think in terms of texture, grain size and salinity. Sevruga and other sturgeon caviars offer that precise, briny snap that cuts through rich dishes like scallop crudo, tartare or butter-poached fish. Roe brings colour and contrast to canapés and tasting menus, giving you control over how each bite looks and tastes.
For health-conscious eaters and bodybuilders
Caviar and roe are naturally rich in protein, Omega 3 fatty acids and key vitamins, which makes them attractive to people who are already paying attention to what fuels their training and recovery. A spoon of salmon or trout roe over a grain bowl, alongside eggs, or with a simple yogurt and herb dip adds both flavour and nutrients without feeling heavy.
For lovers of luxury
Sometimes you want the full “Champagne and caviar” moment, even if it is just for two people at home. A small tin of Northern Divine or another favourite sturgeon caviar, a few blinis or chips, a cold bottle of something sparkling, and a quiet night in can feel every bit as special as going out. For anniversaries, holidays or the kind of “just because” evenings that become stories later, caviar is a small gesture that carries a lot of meaning.
What is caviar, and how is it different from salmon roe?
At its simplest, caviar is the salted, prepared eggs of sturgeon. When people picture a small tin of glossy black or charcoal pearls on ice, this is the classic sturgeon caviar that has been enjoyed for centuries for its rich texture and gentle salinity.
Salmon roe is related, but not the same. It comes from salmon, not sturgeon, and the beads are larger, bright orange and juicy, with a flavour that feels familiar to anyone who enjoys sushi or rice bowls. They add colour and a clean burst of savoury richness to simple dishes.
At 7 Seas Fish Market in Kitsilano you can choose both. We carry true sturgeon caviar for classic luxury and salmon roe for everyday cooking, entertaining and high protein meals. Whether you visit the shop or order through 7 Seas Fish Market on Uber Eats, you can pick the style that fits your night.

Northern Divine: sustainable luxury from the Coast
Northern Divine sits at the heart of our caviar selection. It is a certified organic, Ocean Wise sturgeon caviar raised in Sechelt on BC’s Sunshine Coast, which means you are enjoying a local product that fits comfortably with Vancouver’s focus on sustainable seafood.
On the spoon, Northern Divine feels refined rather than showy. The beads are firm enough to lift and soft enough to melt, with a buttery texture, a gentle nuttiness and a clean, coastal salinity. It is rich without being heavy, which makes it easy to enjoy in small, thoughtful bites.
People reach for Northern Divine when they want their night to feel special and responsible at the same time. It is the choice for anniversaries, milestone birthdays and gifts for friends who care about where their food comes from. Many of our regulars like to pair it with other local favourites, such as BC sparkling wine and smoked salmon, to build a West Coast tasting that quietly shows off what this region can do.
Sevruga, Siberian and other imported sturgeon caviars
Alongside Northern Divine you will find imported Sevruga and Siberian caviar on our Uber Eats page. Each has a distinct style. Sevruga has smaller grains and a brighter, brinier profile that stands out on simple plates like scallop crudo or soft potatoes. Siberian is smoother and more balanced, which makes it an easy match for brunch boards, pasta and weeknight seafood dishes.
These options are popular with home cooks and entertainers who like comparing flavour and texture between tins. Whether you pick Northern Divine, Sevruga or Siberian, you can order them through our Kitsilano shop or have them delivered through Uber Eats when you want caviar at home tonight.
Salmon roe: bright, bold and versatile
Salmon roe is where many Vancouverites first fall in love with roe. The beads are large and bright orange, with a clean shine and a gentle pop that feels instantly familiar if you enjoy sushi or rice bowls.
Because it is so approachable, salmon roe fits almost anywhere. Spoon it over brunch boards with smoked salmon and cream cheese, tuck it into rice bowls, or finish soft scrambled eggs with a small spoonful and watch the plate change.
Salmon roe is naturally rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and quality protein, which makes it a smart choice for people who care about flavour and nutrition. You can pick it up at 7 Seas Fish Market in Kitsilano or add a jar to your order through 7 Seas Fish Market on Uber Eats when you want that bright, savoury hit delivered to your door.
How do I choose the best caviar for my occasion?
Choosing caviar is a bit like choosing wine. You do not need to know every term. You only need to know what you enjoy and what kind of night you are planning.
To choose the best caviar, think about how rich or salty you like your food, how many people you are serving, and whether you want a simple treat or a full celebration, then match that to a tin that fits your taste and budget.
If you are standing at our counter on West 4th Avenue or looking at the 7 Seas Fish Market menu on Uber Eats, this is the simple way to decide.
Start with taste
Most caviars and roes sit on a flavour map that runs from mild and buttery to bold and briny. Knowing where you like to be on that line makes the choice feel easier.
- If you enjoy gentle flavours and smooth textures, look toward Northern Divine and some Siberian style caviars. They feel soft and buttery, with a clean finish that does not crowd the rest of the plate.
- If you like foods that are nutty and layered, ask about Oscietra style imports. They tend to have more depth and complexity, with flavours that unfold slowly as you eat.
- If you prefer a sharp, briny snap, look at Sevruga and robust salmon roe. They speak up on the palate and can hold their own against rich sauces, butter and cream.
If you are not sure where you fit yet, you can always start with a taste. In the shop, our team can walk you through the flavour differences and help you find something that feels right for your first or next tin. At home, you can order a favourite through Uber Eats, pay attention to how it tastes with simple dishes, and use that as your guide for the next time.
How much caviar do I need per person?
As a general guide, allow about 15 to 30 grams of caviar per person for a tasting, and more if caviar will be the focus of the meal.
Use this simple planning guide and adjust up or down based on how central caviar is to the night:
- 30 g tin: generous tasting for one person or a light taste for two
- 50 g tin: comfortable for two people
- 100 g tin: usually enough for about four people
- 250 g and larger: better for bigger gatherings or chef level entertaining
If caviar is just one accent on a board, lean toward the lower end. For a dedicated caviar night or guests who love it, choose the higher side.
Is caviar healthy, and can it fit a fitness focused diet?
Caviar has a reputation for crystal and Champagne, but at its core it is a very concentrated seafood. A small spoon delivers a surprising amount of nutrition in a very small, flavour packed bite.
Caviar and salmon roe are rich in protein, Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and other minerals, so small servings can fit comfortably into a fitness focused diet when you balance them with the rest of your day.
Key nutrients
Most caviars and roes start with the same foundation as the fish they come from. They contain:
- Protein, which supports muscle repair and keeps you feeling satisfied
- Omega 3 fatty acids, which are linked to heart, brain and joint health
- Vitamin B12 and vitamin D, which support energy levels, mood and immune function
- Selenium and iron, which play a role in antioxidant protection and oxygen transport
Because the eggs are small and dense, you do not need a large portion. A spoon or two of caviar or salmon roe can add meaningful nutrition to a meal without making the plate feel heavy. For people who pay attention to macros, this makes caviar a high impact accent rather than the entire meal.
For bodybuilders and health-conscious people
If you spend time in the gym or follow a structured training plan, you already know the value of lean protein and healthy fats. Caviar and salmon roe can slide easily into that routine.
Here are a few ideas our health minded regulars enjoy:
-
Egg whites and salmon roe
Soft scrambled or gently folded egg whites with a spoon of salmon roe on top give you plenty of protein, a shot of Omega 3s and a bright, savoury finish.
-
Brown rice, greens, avocado and a spoon of salmon roe
Build a simple bowl with rice or quinoa, steamed greens, sliced avocado and herbs. Finish with a spoon of roe and a squeeze of lemon. It feels like a sushi bar bowl that happens to deliver complex carbs, good fats and quality protein.
-
Greek yogurt with herbs and salmon roe as a savoury snack
Stir chopped dill, chives and cucumber into plain Greek yogurt, then add a small spoon of salmon roe on top. It becomes a high protein, high flavour dip that works with vegetables or crispbread.
As with any salted food, caviar and roe do contain sodium, so it helps to pay attention to the rest of your day. Enjoy them as a highlight in a balanced meal rather than piling them on in large amounts. If you have specific health concerns, it is always wise to check with a health professional, then come back and let us help you build bowls and plates that fit your plan.
How do I serve caviar at home?
