Caviar Wishes

Of all the gourmet foods you can talk about, none is more rare, so commonly identified with the super-wealthy, and so foreign to non-foodies as the salty fish egg product that is sold under countless names. Imagine a stereotypical woman of glamour — the kind who in a past age would be played by Zsa Zsa Gabor or Loretta Young and today might be portrayed by Angelina Jolie or Beyonce — and it’s likely that the food you imagine her consuming conspicuously contains bounteous portions of salty but ever stylish Beluga caviar.

Though traditionally associated with the Caspian Sea and the neighboring nations of Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran, today numerous varieties of fish egg products are harvested and processed from East Asia to East Arkansas. Beluga caviar is simply the rarest and most expensive style of this product and other common varieties include Sterlet, Ossetra, and Sevruga.

There are numerous ways to consume caviar, such as eating it on fancy crackers and on top of omelets. In fact, my personal introduction was at Gorky’s, a gourmet cafeteria of sorts and later a brewpub located in an industrial section of downtown Los Angeles, which regularly topped its delicious egg dishes with cheap but tasty caviar — eggs on top of eggs. Gorky’s is gone, but my preference for dolloping a bit of caviar or Japanese salmon roe on top of eggs has never ceased.

It’s also worth mentioning that, while the high salt content means folks with serious hypertension should probably minimize their intake, all fish egg products caviar are filled with Omega 3 fatty acids. These fats are associated with a wide variety of health benefits and are widely thought to be especially valuable in lowering triglycerides, possibly helping to prevent diabetes and heart disease, while also fighting ordinary and post-postpartum depression. Though, on the other hand, if you can afford Beluga Caviar, which often sells for over $100.00 an ounce, it’s pretty clear there isn’t that much you should really be very depressed about.
