Can caviar under $100 be good?

Caviar under $100 can be genuinely good when it is real roe. Bowfin caviar is naturally true-black, wild-harvested in the United States, and the lowest price per ounce we carry. Paddlefish caviar is a sturgeon relative with a nutty, earthy flavour, at about a third of the sturgeon price.

Real caviar, not dyed lumpfish

The affordable caviar here is genuine cured roe, not a dyed substitute. Lumpfish caviar is usually coloured with added dye, while bowfin roe is black on its own. USA Black Caviar sells bowfin and paddlefish under $100, and no dyed lumpfish at all.

Which affordable caviar should I buy?

Buy bowfin caviar for the lowest price and a true-black look, or paddlefish for a nuttier, sturgeon-adjacent flavour. Both suit a first taste or a casual gathering. When you are ready for a sturgeon tin, Ossetra and Kaluga Hybrid are the next step up.
