Why Is This Caviar $450 An Ounce?
Caviar is priced based on two criteria: desirability and scarcity. There’s plenty of relatively affordable caviar from fish like herring, which costs about $7 per ounce. The caviar from an albino ossetra sturgeon, costs $450 for one ounce, or $7,300 for just over one pound. Sturgeon are a prehistoric fish that can live to be over 100 years old, grow to 28 feet in length and weigh more than 4,500 pounds.

"Desirability and scarcity" That's how literally everything is priced.

Almas is a persian(iranian) word that means diamond And Iran is biggest caviar exporter in the world
Not worth the money to me but to wealthy people $450 a ounce is peanuts so I can understand why they would pay thousands for caviar.
I’d rather eat stale pizza.

Basically if you eat caviar you’re 100% flexing.
It's a rare fish, quite selfish to so actively interrupt their breeding. Farmed fish are not a solution to wild population problems. Big problems with salmon in Scotland with farmed fish weakening the already depleated population.

I’ll make sure to eat extra caviar for this comment. Thank you.
My favorite caviar is, of course, sturgeon, unfortunately I don't order it often, but I always choose Lemberg caviar. It is simply exquisite and the price is more affordable than the rest!
The best caviar video on KZread 👍
Happy new year everyone 🙌🙌
So one ounce of this buys 2,250 20-cent iced coffees, or enough to last more than 6 years...

After this im thinking why this isnt more expensive
Interesting! The black caviar is originally from siberia, but I have never met it in russian shops. There is pike and salmon caviar, but not sturgeon. Does New York eat everything?
Seems like one oz worth is enough to feed an entire family for a year in most parts of the world. Stupidly priced fish eggs.
I can trade my stimulus check for an oz of sturgeon caviar 😂😂
And it tasted like the ocean...
Sounds like it isn't worth it😂
WHO TF WOULD PUT CAVIAR ON A HOTDOG???! WTFFF
Why is this so expensive? Salted fish eggs ,no ?
Waw very interesting. I should make a documentary on that to taste the most expensive caviar in the world.
It’s not caviar unless it’s from the sturgeon fish so you’re incorrect with your introduction you need to fix that. It’s only Roe, which means fish eggs, when it is not from the sturgeon fish.
Caviar is worth every penny per pearl.
Less than 20 seconds into the video you're already giving TOTAL misinformation. Caviar is ONLY from the sturgeon fish. Any other kind of fish eggs are NOT caviar.
Real caviar in the world is only the one from Sturgeons, the rest from other fishes are only fish eggs. You do not call meat from a pork a beefsteak ;-)
I found this video interesting!
How much it costs for this 11:24 video?
I don’t know why some people look around the room when they are tasting stuff
I got the worst add while watching this video i got a pimple add
If rich folk were eating cat or dog eggs people would loose their minds
Dude I can get chia seeds and they taste the exact same when u put it with water
Nice Video.
i had beluga in moscow, not that impressed, id rather have coconut/coffee ice cream
Time to time travel to the US to have some free cavier

I live in Syria, and we earn 20$ per MONTH for an average Civil servant job. Even if I reach some developed country, Caviar for me would still represents an insult for the emaciated kids all over the globe. The proper question should be : what worths more a spoon of the luxurious caviar or a cursed_by_birth family being relatively well_fed for a month?

Fishing for white sturgeon in Northern California by the Sacramento River. Please !! DO NOT fish for GREEN sturgeon at all. DO NOT REMOVE them from the water at all too. Accident do happen, but do released the green sturgeon immediately For California, a FYi, you’ll need a sport fishing license and not a regular fishing license. A sturgeon report card because you are required to write the location, date, time, and length. You’re required to only use a single barbless hook.

The stupid thing is that albino caviar literally taste the same as regular
Yeah we can produce it on cubicles same taste , same color, same. But really cheap very cheap. Sure.
One could only lick the screen for a taste test.
Before watchin the vid i know its not worth it

So is everyone morally obligated to just not talk about caviar because there's poor people in the world? Give me a break... In my experience people like you who are constantly jumping down everyone's throats with your unbelievably petty, self-righteous judgements over every tiny thing anyone says or does are literally some of the worst people on earth in terms of character.
Watching that smiling woman eat a spoonful of caviar while hearing that the price is due to the time it takes the species to reproduce... how repulsive lol

So albino sturgeon is more expensive. This is white supremacy. Plz support black owned black sturgeon. Colorism is a micro aggression that cascades into many facets of human thinking. Something so small such as pricey albino sturgeon can create the implicit bias of white being better. As long as white stands for pure and black stands for darkness and evil etc etc racism will never end. -Emily Acab (they/them) Political science major
