Caviar spoons are traditionally made of inert materials, such as mother of pearl,[1] gold, animal horn, and wood.[2]

There is a custom that caviar should not be served with a metal spoon, because metal may impart an undesirable flavour.[3] Some food experts point out that caviar is stored and sold in metal tins, and therefore any effect of metal on caviar flavour is a misconception;[4] however, others point out that silver is reactive, and may affect caviar flavour.[5]

Caviar spoons range in length from 3 to 5 inches, and have a small shallow bowl that may be either oval or paddle shaped.
