Question by prekinpdx: What kind of caviar can I substitute for beluga caviar?
I’m making a Thomas Keller dish that calls for beluga caviar. I don’t believe one can buy this in the US due to an import ban. Is there a type of caviar that comes close to the flavor of beluga? Is it not too expensive and widely available? Thanks!

You can buy beluga caviar in the US, but most of it is via internet mail.
But you can substitute, white sturgeon.
I’m sending you a wed site that has beluga..

there are many types of black caviar(other egg fish) in markets but is not taste so good.
