How do you deliver caviar?

Is it better to keep caviar in refrigerator or freezer?
Storing caviar correctly is crucial. Most household fridges run at +2°C near the back and +6°C or even +10°C near the door. This leads to seafood being frozen, which can affect quality, though the initial product condition matters. To maintain quality, buy caviar for one week's consumption or let professionals store it. If you buy more, place it at the back of the fridge, reducing its shelf life by 4 months. In a typical fridge, shelf life is halved.
