The Pacific Northwest is known for its pristine waters, which support a diverse array of marine life, including sturgeon and salmon. Sturgeon is a prehistoric fish that can be found in the Columbia River and other waterways in the Pacific Northwest. It is highly valued for its delicate, flaky meat and is often smoked to enhance its flavor and preserve it for longer storage. Smoked sturgeon is a delicacy in the region and is commonly used to elevate various dishes, including deviled eggs.

Deviled eggs with smoked sturgeon and salmon roe have a strong connection to the Pacific Northwest due to the region’s abundant seafood offerings and culinary traditions. This dish is a delectable and indulgent appetizer that combines the rich flavors of the sea with the creamy goodness of traditional deviled eggs. The dish starts with perfectly boiled eggs, halved, and the yolks carefully removed and mixed with mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, Tabasco, and salt to create a velvety, flavorful filling. If your preference is a more savory egg, add in graded red onion and capers. Once the mixture is to your taste, spoon the filling into the hollows of the egg whites and top with Sturgeon and Caviar.
