What fish does caviar come from?

Baits Out

Answer:

Traditionally, the term caviar refers only to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian and Black Sea. Caviar is considered a delicacy and is eaten as a garnish or a spread. The four main types of caviar are Beluga, Sterlet, Ossetra, and Sevruga. The rarest and costliest is from beluga sturgeon that swim in the Caspian Sea, which is bordered by Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.

Beluga caviar comes from Beluga whales.

I'm convinced that the bad taste some people associate with caviar comes from them having gotten ahold of rancid product that has taken too long to get to the end user rather than being consumed where it is regularly purveyed.

I love caviar, but just can't bring myself to spend the money often. I've had paddlefish caviar several times, it's about $50 for two oz and is reasonably good compared to more expensive species.

LOL! Hope you're joking! Whales are mammals and bear live young; they don't spawn like fish so they don't have any roe. Beluga caviar comes from sturgeon, strangely enough, beluga sturgeon. :grin :grin
