sturgeon
Beluga
My resident fish expert says sturgeon or as it used to be known, "Albany Beef".
Beluga whale? is that possible? I am not up on sourcing my caviar.
From something I've never eaten...even the picture made me shiver..
That would be the Sturgeon... pronounced, Sturgeon.
Actually, according to the FDA any fish roe may be considered Caviar. In Europe, only the roe of Sturgeon may be called Caviar. Professionally, in the Caviar industry, we do call fish roe Caviar, but are selective. For example, Paddlefish isn't a Sturgeon, but it's Caviar highly resembles Sevruga Caviar and the Spathula looks similar to a Sturgeon. Today, many even call farmed Siberian Sturgeon and White Sturgeon Osetra. In conclusion, High Quality Caviar has derived until this year from the FOUR MAIN CASPIAN SPECIES of Russian Osetra Sturgeon, Persian Osetra Sturgeon, and most scarce, the Beluga Sturgeon. www.CaviarCaviar.com has good info.All that is changing.
