    We saw this segment on Andrew's TV show quite some time ago. This brings back fond memories. My wife and I took a business trip with two dozen others to Leningrad, Russia, while still Soviet Communist prior to it reverting back to St. Petersburg. It was 1990. The beluga was fantastic but the Osetra Karat Amber Russian Caviar was the absolute to-die-for favorite of most of us. From Israel, today, it comes so close to the Russian variety back then, that I find no differentiation.

      We wouldn’t have a problem with over fishing and over using.. even when we fished salmon we only fished the body of the runs, we allowed the head and tail of the runs to hit the headwaters for spawning which insured species to survive for 100,000+ years vs now how everything just disappeared.. doubt it was our fault buddy just he honest and understand your ancestors egos and the greed of today are killing the populations of the earth

      @@haroldcroy922 Sturgeons ARE endangered though. These fish reach sexually maturity at around 20 years old and yet when they spawn, people are taking the egg sacs for the sake of gourmet luxury. Its a status symbol, a stupid one at that. Like think about, its just salted fish eggs. Sturgeon that caviar comes from ranges from vulnerable to CRITICALLY endangered. Only ONE type is nowhere near that range. Its to the point where farm caviar is the new norm because its cheaper to farm raise fish but people still want and demand the "wild caught" type. Its the extremely delicate balance between survival for humans and the survival for nature that we really need to worry about (Hello? WE SEE CLIMATE CHANGE EVERY DAY). And while people try to do both, it just goes to show that as humans, there is no such thing as "cruelty free" in our diets.

    Many said that eating shrimp paste, Dog meat, cow's cock and balls, Fertilized Duck's eggs, bile soup, insects, animal's internal organs, cobra, field mice, frog, tadpoles, snails and similar food like what we eat here in the Philippines are grose, barbaric and inhumane but caviar which is practically fish eggs are wealthy and elite food. What🤷🤦⁉️
