Description
E.C. Phillips Wild Alaska Chum Salmon Ikura
This is the classic red caviar most people grew up with: large, glossy keta pearls with a bright orange color and a clean, briny-sweet pop. E.C. Phillips & Son has processed wild Alaska seafood in Ketchikan for a century, and this ikura is cured simply with salt, nothing else.
The 500 g tray is the right size for a family dinner or a party platter; the 1 kg tray is our best value for sushi nights, holiday tables and caterers. Serve it next to a tin of Empero black caviar and let guests compare the pop of the ikura with the softer, buttery sturgeon pearls.
Tasting & Serving
Tasting & Serving
Tasting Notes
- Pearls: large, glossy, bright orange
- Texture: firm skin with a juicy pop
- Flavor: clean, briny-sweet, lightly salted
How to Serve
- On blinis: a spoon of crème fraîche and a generous layer of roe.
- Ikura don: spoon it over warm sushi rice right before serving.
- Buttered bread: fresh baguette, good butter, red caviar on top.
- On eggs: deviled eggs or soft scrambled eggs.
Use a non-metal spoon (mother-of-pearl, bone or glass) and add the roe at the last moment — heat makes the pearls cloudy.
Pairs Well With
- White Toque 16 Mini Blinis
- Vermont Creamery Crème Fraîche
- Empero black caviar — for a two-color caviar board
