National Caviar Day

Caviar is a delicacy made from the roe or eggs of the sturgeon fish. It is typically harvested from wild sturgeon, which are found in the Caspian and Black Sea regions, although some farms have started raising sturgeon for caviar production. The eggs are harvested by gently massaging the fish's belly to extract the roe, which is then carefully cleaned and processed. The quality of the caviar depends on a number of factors, including the species of sturgeon, the age of the fish, and the method of harvesting and processing. Caviar is known for its distinctive flavor and texture, which is often described as buttery, salty, and slightly fishy. It is typically served chilled and eaten with a small spoon, often accompanied by crackers, toast points, or blinis, as well as sour cream, chopped onions, or other toppings. Caviar is considered a luxury food and is often served at formal events and upscale restaurants. It is also a popular gift item, particularly during the holiday season. Due to its high cost, caviar is often reserved for special occasions or for those who can afford to indulge in its rich flavor and texture.
