Caviar is processed and salt cured fish roe from different species of sturgeon, including Ossetra, Sevruga and Beluga and is judged on its color, flavor, texture and maturity.
Beluga caviar has been illegal in the U.S. since 2005 due to its status as an endangered species.
The finest, most expensive caviars are older, larger eggs that are lighter in color. Lower quality caviar is younger, with a less intensely fishy flavor, and darker in color.
Many people, incl. myself find it delicious. Caviar is also known to be healthy, containing plenty of vitamins and minerals intended to nourish unborn fish.
Caviar was originally harvested by Russian and Persian fishermen in the Caspian Sea.
The most expensive caviar on record is from a 100-year-old fish - roughly $1000/oz.

Oddly enough, some of the best American-raised caviar comes from Missouri. --Bet you didn't know that.
The Lake of the Ozarks is full of sturgeon that some people believe produce some of the world's finest caviar. (I live in Missouri.) We actually have a problem here with sturgeon poaching in the Lake of the Ozarks. There have been recent arrests of people here illegally hauling out the sturgeons and making more than $5,000 a day from "poached caviar."
A couple of years ago, the British newspaper the Guardian ran an article about "Missouri caviar."

My opinion: NO. I have tried it several times and it tastes like salt with a fishy smell. There are very few things I will not eat or prefer not to eat as many of you can tell but that is one.

My feeling exactly. I feel the same way about escargot. They taste like dirt smells. Once was enough.
I have used grocery store caviar to decorate hors d’oeuvres. A few eggs atop something is festive looking, but I would t spend a lot to eat it.
