Our salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, mussels, and tuna do not - room temperature works great. In the unlikely circumstance you don’t finish the whole tin, we recommend storing it covered in the refrigerator and consuming within 3 days.

Our anchovies are semi-preserved. While they have a shelf life of one year at room temperature, we highly encourage you to refrigerate your anchovies to preserve their peak quality.

Our salmon and trout have a four-year shelf life. Our tuna, mackerel and sardines have a six year shelf life. Our anchovies have a one-year shelf life and should be refrigerated to maximize quality during this period. Expiration dates are printed on the tins (please feel free to email hello@eatfishwife.com if you are unable to interpret the writing on the tins).

Caviar should be kept refrigerated between 32°F and 38°F. Store it in a bowl of ice in the coldest part of your fridge, usually at the back. Refresh the ice daily to maintain optimal temperature.

Unopened caviar will stay fresh until the expiration date printed on the container. However, once opened, it should be consumed within one day (24 hours) for the best quality and taste.

For the purest experience, enjoy caviar on our mother-of-pearl or another non-metallic spoon, as metal (including silver) can impart a metallic taste. Traditional serving suggestions include placing it on a potato chip or blini with a dab of crème fraîche and chopped chives. We also highly suggest trying it on its own to get the full flavor experience.

White sturgeon caviar distinguishes itself through its uniquely soft and fatty texture, setting it apart from other caviar varieties. The higher fat content not only enhances the taste but also provides a smoother, more melt-in-your-mouth experience, making it a highly sought-after delicacy among caviar connoisseurs.

Fresh caviar should have a clean, briny, and slightly oceanic smell. If it has a sour, rancid, or unpleasant odor, it may be spoiled. If it tastes overly sour, metallic, or off, it’s a clear indicator that the caviar is no longer fresh. If the caviar has been opened and left unrefrigerated for too long or the packaging is damaged or swollen, it’s best to discard it. A vacuum-sealed container should stay intact and not show signs of leakage or bulging.
