Caspian fishermen dream of catching the great Beluga. Due to the immense size of the fish, Beluga also produces the largest eggs of all sturgeons. Its large grain, fine skin and rarity has made Beluga caviar one of the most exquisite delicacies in the world.
Rich, nutty and creamy, the grains detach themselves smoothly, and the taste is described as a faint flavor of the sea.
Beluga, the largest of all sturgeons in the Caspian Sea, can measure up to 6 meters or 20 feet in length and live for more than one hundred years. It has been known to weigh more than 800kg. and is the only carnivore in its species. The largest Beluga sturgeon was recorded in 1924. It was 6 meters long, 170 years old and contained about 375kg. of eggs.
