ANSWER: Food

Sturgeon


This elegant and expensive appetizer is simply sieved and lightly salted fish roe (eggs). Sturgeon roe is premium and considered the "true" caviar. The three main types of caviar are beluga, oestra and sevruga. The best (and costliest) is from the beluga sturgeon that swim in the Caspian Sea, which is bordered by Russia and Iran.

There has been no quota for wild Caspian Caviar for 2009. So the alternative has been aqua culture. Currently there are many sturgeon farms producing caviar. What will determine quality is species, origin, and processing methods and know how. Here's a good guide: http://www.caviarcaviar.com/A-Guide-to-Caviar
