Local Newswire Wow your persnickety friends this holiday season with caviar from Lake Superior

You’ve been preparing for your annual holiday party for months, pinning down all the minutiae that make up a classy get-together. Lest your skittish guests be offended by some unforgivable faux pas, you have rehearsed, over and over, the course of the evening. That is, except for the first course. “WHAT SHALL I SERVE AS A PRE-DINNER SNACK?!” you scream, veins a-popping, brain pulsating with anxiety. With mere days until the soiree, your dread feels terminal.

But fear not! Just buy some Superior Gold/Superior Bluefin caviar, stupid! The locally harvested delicacy, apparently popular in Sweden, is now seeing a surge of interest in Minnesota among people who like to eat raw fish eggs. A two-ounce jar, available in the Twin Cities at Coastal Seafoods, goes for, like, eight bucks, which we’re sure you’ll agree is worth the admiration of your discriminating peers. According to Coastal Seafoods owner Jahn Brink, the caviar—which in nature would be forced out of the female lake herring’s fish vagina and fertilized in a cloud of the male lake herring’s fish semen—goes great on potato wedges and cucumber slices!
