Hmm, he was probably missing out if that's all he had it with. I'm sure it's fine, but there are so many other ways to enjoy fish roe than just with bread or crackers.
If you're ever up for trying it again and like fish, try adding a little to an otherwise mild dish. If you don't overdo it, you'll keep the mild flavors of the dish, but with a taste of the ocean as well. A little goes a long way, so don't go too crazy.
It's certainly common, I just think there are better ways to enjoy it, especially for people new to it. But eating it on bread or crackers is the goto, at least for caviar itself (less so for other types of fish roe).

I guess it was the German Jewish way to eat caviar? At least in the early 20th century? That's what he grew up eating.
