| - 6/24/15: Very cool place!--it's like going to a fancy watch store but for food. They got the dream food stuffs: caviar, truffles, smoked salmon...
1. Candied Smoked Salmon "Jerky" (not exact name) C$?: We came here as part of a food tour, so I didn't catch what the actual name was on display, but this is basically a very sweet salmon "jerky." I've had samples of the same stuff at the farmer's market located next to the Ferry Building in SF, and Caviar Direct's is definitely better tasting and believe it or not, cheaper!!! I forgot the exact price when I asked but I did remember thinking it was about 1/3-1/2 as much as SF's!!!, which I remember was like $40-80 depending on which size you get. Caviar direct's has so much flavor and is so moist--it's the best "salmon jerky" I have EVER had, of any price. 10/10.
2. Truffle in Jar ~C$20 (forgot exact $) for a 1" size: So they have the standard fist-sized versions too which are $100's, but I never knew that this sort of thing existed--little jars of whole truffles, semi-preserved. I just can't bring myself to buy a large one for that kind of money, but I can definitely do $20, which to me is extremely reasonable for this extremely rare edible fantasy! We're back here in America already but haven't had a chance to crack this open yet, so I can't comment on the taste. My gf's still researching what kind of dish we can make with this... but I can't wait!
Kinda hard to give a score for a place like this. But just based on the amazing smoked salmon, and the fact that they had affordable truffles that I have never seen before...
5/5
