Speaking of Petrossian, the Petrossian bar in Bellagio in Vegas is outstanding. Excellent caviar and salmon, terrific martinis and iced vodkas.
Of course, there is always the bill (for those of us who don't gamble).

It's a way to pass the time, I think, because you have to de-claw them. The person I was traveling with must have had 20-30 of them over the course of 5 hours...

If I recall, at a Scandanavian crayfish party, you are supposed to have one shot of some type of alcohol (vodka?) with each crayfish.
Last crayfish party I attended (years ago in Sweden), I had to cut WAY back on the alcohol or else I probably still wouldn't have sobered up to this day

AA definitely serves caviar in first ( on 3 class flights ) on all dinner transcontinental flights to JFK, BOS, at least. I have been very impressed with their service. Had caviar and lobster in first on AA 142 from JFK-LHR last October

Twice last year when I flew first class on Air France between JFK and CDG, they served a half-ounce jar of caviar with blini and toasts along with other condiments. If my memory is correct, the jar was labed by 'Caviar House'. As the blinis served were very dry and hard, I decided to keep the jar and had a pleasure of finishing it in my hotel room at Paris with wonderful warm toasts and scrambled oeufs! 
Wonder if AF still serves caviar by jar?
