Luxist Guide To Beluga Caviar Alternatives

We've done a lot of coverage of the ban on caviar that comes from areas where the sturgeon is endangered. While caviar from Russia, Iran and other protected areas is still available, caviar lovers are beginning to cast their nets wider. Here we take a look at some of the more intriguing options from sturgeon, to paddlefish and even seaweed-based caviar substitutes.

Sterling Caviar: One of the best options coming out of California. At Sterling Caviar they raise the fish themselves, waiting patiently eight to ten years for the harvest. Their large farm has an inventory of thousands of sturgeon which are fed a high-protein, balanced diet and monitored for their health. Sterling comes in three versions, classic, royal and imperial, which is the best of the batch and costs $60 per ounce.
