True Beluga caviar from the Caspian Sea is a thing of the past because of fishing pressures and high international demand for the Beluga roe. However, a multitude of sustainable sturgeon farms are coming into maturity with incredible product that almost matches that of the Caspian. The flavor is delicate with notes of fresh fish, and it is nutty and lightly briny. The texture of the roe, as it pops the taste of fresh ocean into your mouth, is creamy as it passes by, leaving a minerally finish. Take a shot of mineral water or Vodka to cleanse the palate and the experience is complete. Don't forget about the multitude of accoutrement that sit on the sideline and provide overall authenticity to the spread.
