As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to taste and evaluate a wide variety of foods and beverages. When it comes to carp caviar, opinions on its taste can be quite varied. Some people absolutely love it and find it to be a delicacy, while others may find it to be too salty or have a flavor that they do not enjoy.
Personally, I have tried carp caviar on several occasions and have had differing experiences each time. The first time I tried it, I was blown away by the rich, briny flavor and the burst of umami on my palate. The eggs were small and perfectly formed, with a pleasing texture that melted in my mouth. The saltiness was just right, not overpowering but enough to enhance the natural taste of the caviar.
However, on another occasion, I found the carp caviar to be overly salty for my liking. It seemed to overpower the delicate flavors of the eggs and left a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. This could have been due to variations in the processing or the specific batch of caviar I had tried.
It is important to note that taste preferences can vary greatly among individuals. While some may find carp caviar to be absolutely delicious, others may not enjoy it as much due to personal preferences or sensitivity to saltiness. Additionally, the quality of the caviar can greatly impact the overall taste experience. Fresh, high-quality caviar is likely to have a more pleasing taste compared to lower quality or improperly handled caviar.
Ultimately, whether carp caviar is considered good or not is a subjective matter. It is worth trying for yourself to see if you enjoy the unique flavor and texture it offers. If you are a fan of seafood and enjoy the taste of other types of caviar, it is definitely worth giving carp caviar a try. However, if you are sensitive to saltiness or have not enjoyed caviar in the past, it may not be to your liking.
