Salmon caviar is very popular in Russian culture. It's mostly eaten on a white toast, but also used as a filling for crepes. And that's the only way I used to eat it, but then I thought that there surely is another way and I was right. This pasta is really good with creamy caviar dill sauce and tender scallops.
