lumpfish roe Notes: Lumpfish roe is relatively cheap; the eggs come in red or black. Substitutes: sturgeon caviar (superior, but much more expensive) OR golden caviar (also superior) OR salmon caviar (also more expensive) OR smelt roe ...
Don't Buy Black Market Caviar - there is more and more illegal caviar on the market today and it may eventually ruin the availability of sturgeon caviar sometime in the near future.
Connoisseurs of caviar especially find the deep and nutlike taste of this roe appealing. It's often sold in place of sevruga sturgeon caviar caught in the Caspian Sea because the flavor is remarkably similar.
Good quality sturgeon caviar is also produced in France from farm-raised fish. In the United States caviar is made from the roe of white sturgeon.
