A couple of companies are now working on 'correct' caviar -- when the fish nears egg-laying time, certain (very NON toxic) chemicals are introduced into the fish's diet, and another, different cycle of massaging obtains the eggs. This is not yet a popular method for 'industrial' production of caviar, but I imagine it will become one.
FReegards!
I didn’t know that, and think it’s really cool in terms of preserving established stocks. Caviar is one of my personal favorites.
