Caviar

I was watching National Geographic when a word 'Caviar' was hitting my eardrum. From the sound of the word, I can see how interesting to know what is caviar actually.


So Caviar is actually fish egg or fish roe. Some get it from Salmon, Sturgeon or other type of fish.


But the most expensive Caviar is coming from Sturgeon fish.


Due to its expensive price, it is not surprise to see why black market selling this Caviar exist especially in Iran, as the most tasteful Caviar is coming from Iran itself.


And usually when people said Caviar, they are referring to black colour eggs although salmon eggs (orange in colour) is refer to as caviar as well

Basically from my understanding Caviar is used as topping in foods like what we eats in Sushi restaurants.


Even tough it is very difficult to catch Sturgeon fish but once you are manage to catch it, it can make you rich as Sturgeon fish can reach up to 100kg in weight which means a lot of money can be earned by selling its Caviar.


Unfortunately due to its high demands, people keep on hunting this fish on daily basis which means there is no room for breeding of new generation to happen. The extinct sign of this type of fish finally arrive and most countries including Iran, USA etc now legal action control to ensure the few more fish left are allowed to breed and protected from being catch-ed. Luckily there is still Caviar that you can buy or taste in restaurant which comes from different type of fish.
