Caviar tastes nice, but nowhere near as nice to justify the price.
Caviar: I'm the most expensive food in the world.
Safrron: Hold my beer
I can honestly say that i wouldn't even eat that sh*t if it was given to me for free…. lols
In first 50 seconds i tell one thing, you been scamed badly on the black "beluga hybrid" which is Kaluga caviar and price for which $250 for lb.
Had Caviar at a fancy restaurant on a cruise before. It wasnt anything to write home about or even yearn to have. Honestly, when I want little salty things, I'd rather eat olives! 😂😂
There was no russia in 1240, so caviar could not have been mentioned then. You are likely referring to the Khazar Khaganate. Additionally, why does your map of russia in 1200 feature a portrait orientation that includes Ukraine? Please verify your facts before making such embarrassingly false statements.
From the river to the sea… Palestine will be free.
Thanks!

Just go to Kamchatka caviar market and they will give you try it out for free…
well done
thanks for doing this!
I am a Indian I really wish before dying I get to eat one even though it is nigh impossible. And a truffle. Gotta make the bag
Who would even think to eat this? That person not have a friend that would of gave them crap for 10 years for even trying it? Lol
for the love of God, learn to use metrics too please please, there are people watching your videos from logical countries!! Great video but i don't want to stop it every now and then just to Google the measures am I? Thank you boss!
Knowing my dad he'd probably slap that shit on some peanut butter and vanilla ice cream and then wonder why it was so expensive
All I can say is that it taste like poor peoples food 😂 who tf eats Caviar for taste
No need to make a whole documentary on caviar. Just eat the eggs. Also, you should have blinded yourself to all the caviar at once.
Iran has the best Caviar
Had no idea Poland exports Caviar 😮
Are they using distilled water in the process because the water flavor can flavor the eggs they do with my salmon roe
They look so cute 😫🥺
Most salmon caviar comes from dog/chum/keta/silverbright or whatever new marketing name they come up with to sell dog food. I was a fisherman for years and it was crazy to me that we got a higher price for chum than silver or red salmon.
In Sweden you have smoked and heavily salted cod roe as a sandwich spread. It's labeled as caviar, but nobody would mistake it for this type of caviar. It's just a cheap every day sandwich spread that you can buy in any grocery store for $2 for a tube.
The internet told me salmon eggs isn’t caviar, it’s roe. The internet folks can’t be believed. I should read a book.
I ate some pretty costly caviars, and I have the same feeling.
If it’s exclusive People will pay 😅
There not even delicious
I live next to a popular spot that had sturgeon in California. Illegal to fish for it now.
smoked salmon roe slaps if you haven't tried it. I prefer normal caviar to salmon roe normally but smoked salmon roe is amazing
I've had salmon caviar, and it was sublime. It literally burst in my mouth, and was a bit unsettling at first, but oh so delicious!
Caviar is just rich people popping boba 😅 sounds good ngl 🤔
I love Ethan's videos because they are so informative and genuinely help you become a better cook.
I appreciate the honesty RE overfishing etc and the killing of fish to extract. Farmed fish are an environmental minefield, and it would have been nice to hear a bit about that, but appreciate there need to be limitations somewhere. However, as someone who is plant based this video was definitely a major "yuck"- Really, really struggled tbh started to feel a bit ill watching it! 😅😅 No thanks 🙏
Thanks for the informative video as always!
Dude, this video was amazing: entertaining, functional and educative. Good work!
A lot of it comes down to supply and demand. A ribeye steak is far superior to a filet minion IMO. But because there is only 5 pounds of filet minion on a cow versus 25 pounds of ribeye steaks, the price tends to get pushed up on the former.
I never had caviar. It is supposed to be so posh and luxurious. A bank I worked in had some be to-do meeting. After hours they told us lowly hourly workers, we could help ourselves to the fixens. Well no one liked the big red caviar. Too fishy tasting. Years later I has some small black caviar that was good. But I think over all I'm not much of a fan, although I do like sea food. Well I like sea food, tat is dead and not moving on my plate.
i love tobiko and masago on sushi when i get it so knowing there's a $10 tin of something that's a similar experience is a delight
Ive had the good stuff. Let me tell ya, if you were rich you would live on the stuff. I have Sharon Osbourne to thank for the first and only time I ever had real caviar. My aunt did the catering for the launch of her new show some 24 years ago or so. As we were leaving a couple fancy people offered us a cracker with caviar on it. I wish I never tasted it. Dont ever try it. I would have been better off never knowing how great it was. Very expensive habit.
There is another reason why caviar might be so expensive, perhaps, and it is an infuriating one. As you said, caviar used to be a peasant food. But it might surprise you that so were ribs, ox tail, or lobster at one point, to name a few examples. The nutritional content was low, and often left as scraps for the peasants, who had to make up for it by heavily preparing / seasoning it, giving rise to delicious recipes. As the world trade opened up, poor people could afford more expensive foods like ham, thereby degrading their status as luxury foods. And so what became the new luxury food? The stuff that took bigger effort to prepare, i.e. all these poor-people foods. This "rich-people" nonsense is also the reason why "upper-class food" may sometimes seem very bland – it's because spices were a "poor-people" thing. It's literally all upper-class, upper-class trends and upper-class whims drive supply and demand, and it's so infuriating to me.
My father used to work at a nice restaurant in Romania and once brought home some beluga caviar. So, I had the opportunity to taste it without paying for it, and while it was a pleasant experience, it was not worth the price. After that, I purchased some of the cheaper fish eggs, but those did not impress me either.
You know what was a pleasant experience? The cheapest fish roe – made into a salad.
