what is cavier

Caviar is a delicacy consisting of salt-cured roe (eggs) of the family Acipenseridae, traditionally sourced from wild sturgeon in the Caspian Sea and Black Sea. However, the term caviar can also describe the roe of other species of sturgeon or other fish such as paddlefish, salmon, steelhead, trout, lumpfish, whitefish, or carp. Caviar is considered a delicacy and is eaten as a garnish or spread. It is rare, expensive, and cherished as a delicacy. The most popular caviar in the world is Beluga caviar, known for its rich, nutty, briny flavor and firm, juicy, deep brown to gold pearls. Other types of caviar include Sevruga, Sterlet, and Kaluga caviar. Caviar is typically served chilled and is often accompanied by toast points, blinis, or crackers, and garnished with sour cream, chopped onions, or chives.
