How much is caviar per serving?
If you are serving caviar by itself it is safe to figure that you will need 1 to 2 ounces (30 – 50 grams) of caviar per person. If you are sharing caviar as a garnish or accompaniment on top of hors-d'oeuvres, it is safe to figure ½ – 1 ounce per person/serving.
How much is a single piece of caviar?
You should expect to spend at least $50 to $75 for 30 grams (1 ounce)—enough caviar to make a few good bites for two people. But the prices can get astronomically high. The Special Reserve Ossetra from Petrossian runs at $12,000 a kilo, or $378 for a 30 gram tin.
How many grams is a tin of caviar?
"You must have enough to roll on your tongue to understand the texture and aroma." 5 grams (a heaping half teaspoon) is a more reasonable size for a taste. For this reason, a 30 gram tin (about 1 ounce) should be the absolute minimum you purchase when shopping for two people.

Can you eat a lot of caviar?
Don't eat too much when served caviar as an hors d'oeuvre, no matter how much you might be tempted by its luscious flavor. It's considered gauche to eat more than an ample serving of about 2 ounces, or about two spoonfuls. Don't chew the caviar, as you will lose a lot of the flavor.2019-06-18
