Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between black and red lumpfish roe?
Both are the same type of lumpfish roe, a well-known caviar substitute, but in different colours: the black version offers that classic dark “caviar” look, while the red one adds a vivid touch of colour to dishes. The flavour, a burst of the sea that enhances any dish, salad or appetiser, is equally intense in both.
How should it be stored?
Keep it refrigerated (2–7 °C) until the best-before date on the jar, and eat it within 2–3 days of opening, always kept chilled.
Which recipes does it work best in?
It works very well in canapés, appetisers, salads, devilled eggs or as a decorative finishing touch for fish and seafood dishes, thanks to its dark colour and a texture that pops gently in the mouth.
Does it contain gluten?
It contains no GMOs or gluten. It is not suitable for vegans or for people with a fish allergy.
Which format suits me best, 50 g or 100 g?
The 50 g jar (€3.08) is enough to garnish occasional appetisers; the 100 g jar is more practical if you use it often in the kitchen or are serving more guests.
How does my order reach me without breaking the cold chain?
Pescaviar S.L., the company behind Spherika, takes special care with the logistics of its refrigerated products: orders to mainland Spain placed before 11:00 (Monday to Thursday) arrive in 24 h, and to the Balearic Islands in 48 h. We do not ship on Fridays or at weekends (the order would be delivered the following Tuesday or Wednesday), precisely to ensure the product always arrives chilled and in perfect condition. We do not ship to the Canary Islands.
Can I return this product if I change my mind?
No. As a refrigerated, perishable product, consumer law (art. 103 of the Spanish LGDCU) excludes the 14-day right of withdrawal for products that must be kept refrigerated. Only cases of products damaged in transit, in poor condition or with an order error are handled as incidents, with a replacement or refund, when reported with photos to general@pescaviar.com within 24 hours of delivery.
Why is it the best-known caviar substitute?
Essentially because of its price and its appearance, which is very similar to caviar.
Since when has Pescaviar sold it under the Spherika brand?
The natural roe line (salmon, trout and lumpfish) was formally added to Pescaviar's portfolio in 2015.
Why is its price per kilo so low compared with caviar?
At €61.60/kg, it is around 24 times cheaper than Spherika sturgeon caviar (€1,500/kg), because it comes from a much more common fish that, until now, has been caught on a large scale, unlike sturgeon, which must ALWAYS be farmed as it is a protected species and wild fishing for it is banned.
