This product was arrived very quickly and was packed with care. My wife and I loved the quality of the Salmon Roe. We have enjoyed Salmon Roe at our local Sushi Restaurant and this was every bit as good.

This item sold and shipped by [...] is nothing like what is pictured, they mentioned x oz/jar, more like 5oz/can. The first can I opened the pull tab came right off. I'm no stranger to pull tabs I feed my cat from cans that are pull tabs.

I recommend going to their site [...]. Their picture is more accurate of the product. The title of the site is "russian caviar since 2004, shipped from the USA". Notice that this product title starts with "Alaskan Salmon", minor quib, but ...

My order consists of 4 cans of "Grained Salmon Caviar" looks and smells nothing like the sushi restaurant roe. A lot of the eggs were crushed I'd say around 80% to 90%. The ones I get from the sushi restaurants are all intact little bubbles. It might be because its concentrate, but I don't remember the Roe in the restaurants smelling like olives. I don't like olives

The can labels are russian but I can see "made in USA" and made on March 28, 2011. This contradicts with description of 2 week shelf life. So this product has already been expired, possibly they mean when its opened. It was September when I received it. I was a bit turned off by the large difference in ship and made date.

The order arrived a day later than expected. That is fine however it was only shipped after I inquired its status. The shipper said he/she was "sorry I was out of town". The product was pack tightly, but the ice pack that was packed with has already melted by the time I got it (I opened the package immediately upon receiving, knowing it was perishable).

This is the first time I ordered Salmon Roe, perhaps they all come like this. However there are still inconsistencies with this product's page, that needs to be pointed out.

I was impressed with the timely manner I received this product. My friends and I truly enjoyed this product

As another reviewer has noted, the product description was a bit misleading. I thought I was getting four 7oz jars of Alaskan Salmon Roe. What I received was six small 5oz tins of something purporting to be salmon roe. Most of the writing on the label is in Russian, but it does say "Product of USA." This is all a bit off-putting, as we were planning to give the jars as gifts. Now I guess I'll have to open one one to check things out. The can has a stamp indicating that it was packed only 2 week ago.
If the product inside is any good, I'll upgrade this by a star (to 4), if so-so I'll leave it at 3 or maybe 2. If bad, the minimum one star.
