Ever pondered why caviar is so expensive? David Anderson,
Nathaniel Lee, and Jessica Orwig from Business Insider reveal that real roe
costs around 35k just for one kilo. Nonetheless, fish eggs weren’t always high
priced. In "Why is caviar so expensive", David Anderson says, “In the 19th century… the amounts of caviar were
offered for free in bar saloons, like peanuts.” It wasn’t until the 20th
century when caviar became a rare commodity. Due to being over hunted and
environmental hazards, sturgeon being the source of roe is promptly the most
endangered species on earth. Being illegal in several states and carefully
monitored during exports and imports, this could explain why caviar today is
such a rarity. [117 words, 2 links, 1 image, 2 quote]
