How Much Do I Need?

If caviar will be the highlight of your event, it is suggested to have around 1-2 ounces per guest.

The minimum you can expect your guests to eat is about ½ ounce of caviar per person, if you have plenty of other snacks and garnishes to nibble on throughout the evening. If you’re dealing with groups of more than ten people, you may need to mix and match different sized tins to get the ideal amount, as caviar is sold in the following tin sizes: 30, 50, 100, 250 etc.
