- Caviar is one of the most expensive foods in the world. Selling for up to $35,000 per kilo, it's revered and relished by aristocrats across the globe. But it's an acquired taste. Turns out, caviar wasn't always so valuable. In the 19th century, sturgeon species in the US were so common that there are accounts of caviar being offered in saloons for free, like bar nuts. In Europe, fishermen were feeding the eggs to their pigs, or leaving it on the beach to spoil. What changed?

Following is the transcript of the video:
Similar to true champagne, caviar doesn't come from just anywhere. This, for example, is not caviar. To get the real thing, it has to be eggs from a sturgeon. There are 27 species around the world in North America, Europe, and Asia. But probably not for long.
Arne Ludwig: In this case, sturgeon will die out because humans are over-harvesting their populations and destroying their habitats.
In 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature placed 18 species on its Red List of Threatened Species, making the sturgeon the most endangered group of species on Earth. But lists like these are bittersweet. On the one hand, they can help protect the sturgeon from further population decline. On the other hand, the rarer that caviar becomes, the more we can't get enough of it. There's actually an economic idea that explains this. It's called the rarity value thesis and it describes how "rarity increases the value of the item." Sturgeon can weigh up to several thousand pounds, and produce hundreds of pounds of roe at a time. The world record belongs to a beluga sturgeon that weighed 2,520 pounds and yielded 900 pounds of roe. Today, she'd be worth about half a million dollars.
It wasn't until around the 20th century when these freshwater fish and their eggs became a rare commodity. Pollution poisoned their waters and dams blocked their spawning grounds upstream. They had nowhere to reproduce and continued to be overfished for their meat and roe. On top of that, it takes 8-20 years for a female to sexually mature, depending on the species. She can produce millions of eggs at a time, but odds are that only one will survive to adulthood. In the end, the sturgeon population couldn't keep up with demand and their coveted eggs became the jewels of the luxury food scene. Today, caviar imports and exports are closely regulated in the US., which is partly why it's so expensive.
Deborah Keane: People forget that every single egg, every one of these eggs is taken off by hand. Now, remember that we're dealing with a raw seafood endangered species. So it is basically like eating and dealing with edible elephant tusks. It is that heavily regulated.
That's why today, the majority of caviar comes from sturgeon farms.
Deborah Keane: Little did I know that by 2011, all wild caviar would become illegal on the planet. When I started there were six farms in the world and only two producing caviar in the world and that was in 2004. Now, there are 2,000 farms.
One farm, in particular, in China called Kaluga Queen produces 35% of the world's caviar. Caviar there is harvested with the classic Russian and Iranian technique, which involves killing the fish and then extracting the eggs. Other farms are exploring a different technique, which doesn't involve killing the fish. It's called stripping. The fish are injected with a hormone that triggers their urge to release eggs. Farmers have been doing this for many years, but not to get caviar - just to produce more fish. It wasn't until recently that people started canning this stuff and selling it as caviar.
Dmitrijs Tracuks: The biggest thing is that yes, fish stays alive. You have really small impact on the fish because you do it really fast. You take the fish out of the water, you put it on the special holding facility. The fish has already started to spawn and so all that requires is to press on the belly, massage the belly and the caviar will just flow out of the fish.
The idea behind no-kill caviar is a commendable one, but it has yet to catch on. Either way, with caviar farms in place, this gives the wild sturgeon population a chance to recover. But whether or not, that happens is largely up to us.: / tech_insider

Like Truffles and Cavier, long time ago it was fed to the pigs, now it is so priceless that it is fed to the rich.
So what you're saying is it's still fed to pigs

lol where do YOU live x)
Most food thats expensive now used to be dirt cheap or considered poor until some rich man decided to eat it and liked it
that not what happened
they became rare then they became rich
It’s supply and demand. It has nothing to do with the rich.
As supposed to what can you get some
@@primal8655 the demand came from rich.
So pretty much people are paying for the endangerment of these species.
davidc4897 us living in general is destroying all species. Humans have failed the earth. Including me and you. :(
Why should we care about the lives of sturgeon?
For humans to survive they have to eat other species its natural to eat and survive so the word endanger is the dumbest man made word cause theres over billions of extnct species since the big bang so why preserve it
Kinda like sharksfin...killing an animal for food that really doesnt add anything essential to our diets
When enough species go extinct, the food chain collapse and we will go with it... This is basic science.
Just looking at how it comes out. Just give me the urge to not eat it.
@Utahutes2016 lmao i hate milk and eggs too literally everything from animals is disgusting...and from fish it's worse
For some reason, it's satisfying to me
Don’t even think of eating it.

@@gwendalynn_alvarado In my region fish is one of the most eaten foods. Since we live in a oversized island.
Or "mega continent" to what most call.
Why don't they just spare a couple of the fish and let their eggs grow to fish so that they can have more caviar?
female sturgeons reproduce not until 5 years but they can live up to about 100+ years. the older the fish the higher the production quality
Cuz humans are impatient and selfish.
Brashayley simple. Just dont get em
They're just dumb and greedy...
Keeping them endangered makes the caviar more valuable plus these farms are dedicated to the eggs, not conservation, which requires more money and less reward.
Meh I still wouldn't eat it when there are other foods that taste just as good or better when cooked right since caviar is just expensive because its rare and not because of taste.
Is making fish extinct really good?
Caviar has the taste of the black gold. Hell, its so freaking tasty. And it has a lot of benefits for the health. Absolutely love caviar!
Sirzechs Gr b
Sirzechs Gr yeah same thing goes for shark fin. These expensive foods taste shitty but people crave it because "I ate a pound of caviar" sounds just as posh as "I bought a pound of gold". If there was plenty of gold, it would be as cheap as copper is and no one would want it.
Philz3TT
You can get caviar from any fish, it will just cost less
Red caviar is only a few pounds per can

instead of eatin’ it, why dont we just let the egg become a regular fish
Because odds are only one of those eggs will actually make it to adulthood and they don't want to look $35,000 worth of product.
The answer to your question is from 2:42 to 2:50
And then eat it!

It's heartwarming to hear that there is already regulation in place to protect the sturgeons and that alternative methods of caviar production are in place so the native populations may rebound.
fellow pfp user
Damn i wish i had that kinda money that make you lose common sense
It's called, supply and demand.
Le Corny Exactly, if people didn't want it the species would be fine. Just like with people poaching tigers and elephants and other endangered species, if people didnt buy them than people wouldn't kill them and try to make money off of it.
Le Corny and also the constructed values of thing. Caviar worth almost nothing to many based only on their value of a food. But the value of the brand, and the market value are different stories
It’s called knowledge
Le corny, I really like your profile pic of hiki and yui, I love them , and waiting for oregairu season 3
That’s a clothes brand
My question is, if only one can survive to adulthood in the WILD, then why cant a conservation company manage simply one sitting of eggs, protecting them, feeding them, caring, etc, and booming the population to millions?
Steve I was thinking of that just as I ran into your comment.
Simple if they do that it would increase the amount on the fish in the ocean and decrease the prices they would get for the cavier which unfortunately they won’t do because they are a big business
because that would decrease the price
Because that would be like a cow farm, they would be overpopulated and not have enough space to move around and they would be hurt and tortured
For these fish, I don't think it is about how they are nurtured- sturgeons produce eggs in quantity instead of quality (which, imo, makes it a very dumb fish biologically). Most of the fish die anyway because they aren't built for life.
Why is everything shitty so expensive? This is like modern art
There's plenty of great modern art. It's just that a lot of modern art is often mocked so that's the most popular pieces you will see in media. Scribbles, or a singular color. That kind of thing. But there's a lot more than that.
Caviar tastes like metal its just a waste of money but orange caviar is soo better It is soooo lets just say its awesome
First of all, I think caviar taste rich, nicely creamy and gently salty. Second, not all expensive taste shitty, have you tasted all?
Stormy Wolf Maybe you haven't got good caviar then🤔
Its a taste thing i kinda like it
Me : eating.
4:01 : Im bout to end this mans whole career
I'm going to throw up
ok never eating caviar again.
So you have eaten it before? you should be ashamed!
Dantick09 only these yellow ones. Don’t think that’s the same though...
I m not ashamed, I was just young and i didn t know
BOI THEY SAID THE "yellow one" ISNT CAVIAR. my dad uses those eggs as fish bait as eating them is just gross

Oh u know nothing about salmon
Or just eat boba
Isn't Salomon (in EU at least) like poisonous from all the shit people feed it and drugs they spray over it?
People are complaining sturgeons are going extinct and instead of breeding the egg,we eat it...
I swear to God I'm so pissed at humanity
Ya that's not that smart but the eggs r really valuable if the fish is endangered species if u start growing fish n making more fishes then the egg value will decrease
you really don’t understand how sturgeon work at all do you
SamuraiJuno, really seems like you tell us that like that Fish is some Machine there eh...?
2:41
You dont really get it. Sturgeons are a very rare species because the odds are 1/1000 and caviar are the eggs that didn't make it. And now farms are trying to harvest sturgeons so it will not extinct

Y tho, that looks yummy af
Hasn't affected me at all. You know the people who actually like Caviar are the kind of people who can get past the idea of eating "raw fish eggs" and actually enjoy the taste and texture. I'm sure those people already know where it comes from and where its harvested. Watch a video on how fast food is produced or how hotdogs are made and you'd get the same thing. Most food produced can seem disgusting if you view it in a certain way.

No-kill harvesting will probably become popular because it allows the fish to produce more eggs instead of dying.

Ali Raza you don't get it don't you?
Ali Raza I’m no biologists but I’m pretty sure that’s not how eggs work...
SlayerNiss I know. That's just a story, in this video they said Chinese use Persian method, which is to kill the fish and extract the eggs. That can happen here too.
Do u know that a female fish or any creature is born with a certain amount of eggs . These fish cant produce any more eggs after they are extracted from fish . So basically that fish is pretty much useless .
I've haven't tried caviar more than once even though most people have tried it on more than occasion because they like the interesting taste. However, when I was in college, I've tried once, and I haven't eaten anymore since. But to the folks who enjoy the interesting taste, more power to you guys.

In the harbor town I live in in Ohio (Lake Erie) Sturgeons are plentiful in our bay. I've seen them several times and even swam with them once. People here love them and love seeing them in nature. We do a LOT to make sure nobody fishes for them or hurts them. They're very docile water creatures and mean no harm to anyone.
It's kind of the same with crabs in Canada. We used to call them sea spiders and fishermen gave them away to the poor when they caught some in their nets. It's not rare now, but it got expensive.

because rich people buy it and that makes people think it must taste good
Khalifa Omar I actually really like caviar its really good are you sure you wernt eating the cheap caviar?
Just like how some people don't like Chicken, and some don't, there are those who like Caviar, and those who don't. So it might not "tast" nice to you, but "tast" nice to others.

My dad (from Iraq) used to go to a lake with his family, they go there to get fish to fry and cook since there weren’t many supermarkets and other sources back then. They’d fish shrimp and fish and more, my grandmother would open up the fish and get the caviar out. Caviar wasn’t that rare and my last gen family didn’t think of it as something amazing, most of them didn’t prefer eating it. Well? That’s how life is....

I've had caviar and believe me it's not worth the money or the toll it's taking on these poor creatures... It great that some people are doing their best to save them but I'm sad to say that it might just be too late.
AngryFish 5 Caviar from other fish then sturgeon is nice and also affordable. It pairs wonderfully with avocado and lemon!
Your right and I agree.
no,no,no,NO. caviar taste like shit
No it doesn't. It tastes great.
My opinion is that I don’t give a shit about fish . . . But I can’t live without Caviar
Super informative video. Thanks. I didn't know that they killed the sturgeon to make "Russian" style caviar. However, you didn't mention that the most expensive of the expensive caviar comes from the Caspian Sea.
Rich people: we should save that fish

Lmao open wide lol hahaha
The high value demand is actually a good thing for conservation in many ways. Sturgeon will never go extinct if humans want them so badly. Wild sturgeon are a different story, of course, but it seems farming has taken over caviar production by now anyway.

GuinnessandPizza or the fact that some people legitimately just like the taste of it. What’s nasty to you could be delicious to someone else, that’s why everyone has their own taste in things. Caviar could be an acquired taste but to some it’s good when they first try it
GuinnessandPizza That's a really stupid thing to say. I've had it and I liked it. It's like an explosion of saltiness. I also eat lump eggs regularly in holidays on toasts for example, which looks and tastes almost exactly like caviar and is a lot cheaper.
Caviar is obviously not a normal food, it's more akin to peanuts or condiments you put over dishes to enhance taste.
Oh no, have i started caviar drama?
Ziika the furry negative. More like you didn’t like the taste of it but others do..
@DeadByCamping and? Theres nothing wrong with furries.
4:01
People: Eughhh
Me: Oh god look at that money flowing out
True tho
it tastes like shit, who cares if its expensive..
Marcelo Velarde your opinion lmao
I like how everyone here acts like theyve eating it evrid.A
Ugandan Knuckles everyone? The whole 1 other person who commented? Lol
Marcelo Velarde found the one with pleb taste
Marcelo Velarde Tastes better than your food what u eat, if its shit to u ur officially confirmed as poor
This must be in *TOP TEN UA-cam CHANNELS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WATCH*
And I thought it was some thing grown from a back yard in an expensive tree
Ever used google before?
Just another example that proves expensive doesn’t equal better
I tasted caviar once!
I almost vomited 🤮
It's looks disgusting, I wonder how it's really would taste haha
If the food item called "Pizza 🍕" is rare ...then it will overtake "Caviar".....as the most Expensive food item....ever....
Why people eat it anyways.
It doesn't taste good. I would rather eat a street hotdog or hamburger
Real deal we have different tongue
VINERIA TG It must be in your head
Real deal dude same
The REAL ones TASTE GOOD; none the less FUCK US FOR EATING that through EXTINCTION!
Well u guy are right, Its just my opinion.
I tried it and dont like it.
Short answer high demand.
Rarity is the answer
4:01 well that totally not disgusting
VietNam PIXEL why is that kind of satisfying
There is a great company in California that farms sturgeon very humanly and sustainably. They are repopulating the sturgeon population and doing a lot of conservation work for the species.
Tbh, I didn't know that caviar was an actual food. I thought it was just a fancy name..
Sceptile Is Life a fancy name for what?
Lol I thought it was a sauce like A1
It’s not. It’s more of a seasoning, but since it’s expensive people just wanna eat a whole bowl of it.
I have bad news for you fam.
fancy name for what?
For years, I heard the term Beluga caviar, and my brain just naturally assumed, "Oh yeah, from the Beluga whale. Those are cute."
It never occurred to my brain or me that whales are mammals, and therefore don't produce roe. It never actually clicked until now :p
Even lobster used to be seen as disgusting cheap food to be fed to prisoners and animals, it changed until the east coast started shipping lobsters to middle and Western America and thanks to clever marketing, everyone started thinking it was luxurious food
the placebo effect is cool
Let's turn another low quality food into a luxury for shits and giggles
when it was prisoner food they mushed up the whole lobster with shell and brains.
Caviar is delicious... creamy with a hint of saltiness... goes great with a nice glass of champagne.
bros living in paradise
I like how people seem to ignore the other half of the video.
There are halves? Which part are people drawn to and which part are you referring to?
I guess he means the mention of copious regulations.
I never tasted caviar ? I want to taste it 😋
TheGoldenKitty ! You are the part of the reason the next generation of children grow up without yet, another species of animal due to farming and hunting. Idiot. If you want caviar go extract it yourself or gtfo
Well geez
I'm just saying
Luke Stevens I just only wanted to try it ones
If everyone wanted to try it once then that is 7.6 billion teaspoons of caviar. Just once isn’t acceptable when a species is on the brink of extinction. Use your head
how about lets not eat their eggs so they can produce more whatever fish he said
they said IN THE VIDEO that the wild population is growing and people only eat the eggs from farms. "Oh, let's stop eating chicken eggs so the population of chicken can grow." Do you know how retarded that sounds? Exactly.
If caviar were produced in a free-market way, instead of the copious regulations mentioned in this video, then the farmer would have a natural incentive to put a certain amount of stock aside for next year.
But only 1 egg survive to adulthood tho o_o
Try telling that to all the rich assholes that think they own the world.
simple minded idea. If only people were simpletons like you. Then your idea would work
Honestly, this taste so good. Idk about you guys, but it is good. Maybe it’s because I like fish.
You are it?
Ate
Some advice dont eat it with metal cutlery!
Edit: its just silver cutlery. It can be eaten with any other type of metal.
GrasspGaming why?
Because the metal reacts with the caviar and so must be eaten with wood or bone cutlery
GrasspGaming thanks ikr
GrasspGaming ohh..
with sea shell or plastic
