I think if I were to make it now I would throw in some imitation caviar.
I wouldn't want any fish flavor in my Russian. My only use fpor the dressing is for Reuben sandwiches, maybe on a turkey club, and that's about it. In fact, the desire for a truly great Reuben sandwich is what got me motivated to find an exceptional Russian dressing. The problem is that there's not much, if any, decent corned beef in the San Francisco area, and the closest place for acceptable corned beef is a PITA to get to from mi casa. I'm tempted to do mail order from one of two places in NYC, or perhaps from Zingerman's, although I've not tried their corned beef, so it would be a bit of a crap shoot.
