Published: Dec 11, 2025 | Last updated: Jan 31, 2026
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 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 order online and pick what fits your night.
You can also stay home, open the Uber Eats app, search “7 Seas Fish Market,” or use our direct link above, 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.
Caviar and roe are available in Kitsilano at 7 Seas Fish Market, with online ordering and delivery options for Vancouver.
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 on a piece of smoked salmon, or a flavour complement 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 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.

Sturgeon caviar at 7 Seas Fish Market
If you want true sturgeon caviar in Vancouver, we keep a focused selection that lets you choose by flavour, texture, and the kind of night you are planning.
Local favourite
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 a natural pick for anniversaries, milestone birthdays and gifts for friends who care about where their food comes from. Many regulars pair it with BC sparkling wine and smoked salmon for a West Coast tasting that quietly shows off what this region can do.
Imported sturgeon
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
Smaller grains and a brighter, brinier profile that stands out on simple plates like scallop crudo or soft potatoes.
Siberian
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.

Bright + versatile
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.
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.
- Mild + buttery: Northern Divine and many Siberian styles. Soft texture, clean finish.
- Nutty + layered: Oscietra style imports. More depth and complexity.
- Bright + briny: Sevruga and robust salmon roe. Strong snap on rich dishes.
If you are not sure where you fit yet, you can start with a favourite and pay attention to how it tastes on simple food. That becomes your guide for the next tin.

How much caviar do I need per person?
As a general guide, allow about 15 to 30 grams per person for a tasting, and more if caviar will be the focus of the meal.
- 30 g tin: generous tasting for one, 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 one accent on a board, lean lower. For a dedicated caviar night or guests who love it, size up.
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.
General information note: This section is general nutrition information, not personal advice. If you have specific health concerns or dietary needs, check with a qualified health professional.
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 helps you feel satisfied
- Omega 3 fatty acids, commonly associated with heart, brain and joint health
- Vitamin B12 and vitamin D, which support energy, mood and immune function
- Selenium and iron, which play roles in antioxidant protection and oxygen transport
Because the eggs are small and dense, you do not need a large portion. A spoon or two can add meaningful nutrition without making the meal feel heavy.
For bodybuilders and health-conscious people
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 roe on top for protein plus a bright finish.
Rice, greens, avocado and roe
Build a simple bowl with rice or quinoa, greens, avocado and herbs. Finish with roe and lemon.
Greek yogurt + herbs + roe
Turn yogurt into a savoury dip with dill, chives and cucumber, then add a small spoon of roe.
As with any salted food, caviar and roe contain sodium, so it helps to balance the rest of your day.
How do I serve caviar at home?
Serving caviar at home is simple. Keep the tin cold, open it just before eating, use a non-metal spoon and pair it with plain bases so the flavour stands out.
