True caviar is from the sturgeon it is pricey due to the fact that sturgeon is becoming more and more hard to get. Some other fish roe (eggs) used are from whitefish, salmon and trout but probably not monkfish. Fish roe (eggs/caviar) is salty, the larger the roe the saltier it tastes.

Overpriced… NO… not considering the wages people in our cities make +100k.. remember lobster is up around $ 8 – 10 #
Then consider the limited harvest time.
Strict Fish and Game laws licensing and wholesale auction bidders…too many middlemen..
Caviar is from Salmon ..I do know many other fish eggs are collected BUT ??? their names ??
