- Caviar is the processed
and salted roe (eggs) of various types of fish, with the most well-known
being the Beluga sturgeon from the Caspian Sea . Long known as a symbol
of luxury, caviar has more recently become a source of controversy in
the international food market, as overfishing, poaching practices, and
pollution in the Caspian Sea have led to the classification of Beluga
sturgeon as an endangered species.
- Caviar is traditionally
served with horn, wood, gold, nacre, or plastic utensils.Commercial
caviar production normally needs stunning the fish (usually by clubbing
its head) and extracting the ovaries; some commercial fish farmers are
experimenting with surgically removing roe from living sturgeon,
allowing the females to continue producing more roe during their
lives.
- There are two types of
Caviar production process. 1. Traditional Caviar Production Process: It
is a process of separating the skin from the salmon eggs using manual
labor. A maximum rate of twenty five percent for grade A product is
being lost with this process. Less than fifty percent is being lost in
grade B product and a maximum of seventy percent is being lost for grade
C product. 2. East Point Caviar Production Process: It is a process of
separating the skin from the salmon eggs using a machine. The machine is
a specially designed tool for making caviar. This process reduces the
lost rate of grade A products to a maximum of ten percent.
- Traditionally, only two
nations of the world have been major caviar-exporters: the former Soviet
Union and Iran.In the CIS, there has been a shift from local to foreign
markets, while Iran has increased the volumes of its caviar exports
yearly and now exports about 95 per cent of its production. Current
domestic consumption within the CIS is estimated to be only about 100
tones yearly compared to an average of 1800 tones in the 1980s.
- Among EU countries,
Germany was the main importer (85 tones per year), but it re-exported
approximately 45 per cent of its imports to other European countries and
the USA. France, where pressed caviar can retail for up to US$600 per
kilo, is the largest EU caviar consumer with 80 tones imported yearly
and 60 tones consumed on its domestic market. The UK (20 tones per year)
and Belgium (20 tones per year) follow Germany and France in importance
as importers of Caspian caviar.
- Fish roe products can
be extremely valuable. The first level wholesale value of fish roe
products in Washington is over $350 million. Currently, the bulk of this
revenue is derived from salmon, pollock and herring roe, with increasing
income from the sale of trout caviar, a new product in U.S. markets. A
rapidly emerging market in the Pacific Northwest is black caviar from
cultured sturgeon and other species such as paddlefish, with an
estimated first level wholesale value of $200 million nationally.
- The beluga's caviar is
the most expensive in the world and this can be considered the most
expensive fish in the world. Like in all fishes, the amount of caviar
(eggs) is linked to the female's size: a female with a length of 1.8 m
(6 ft) and weighing 90 kg (200 pounds) can deliver 5 to 15 kg (12 to 40
pounds) of caviar. A beluga (the largest sturgeon, inhabiting the Black
and Caspian seas basins) female delivered 120 kg (270 pounds) of
caviar.
