Beluga caviar is considered to be the best and most expensive caviar in the world. The roe which makes up this type of caviar come from the Beluga sturgeon which is just one of many sturgeons that are found in the Caspian Sea. Sadly they are an endangered species and their stocks are currently extremely low. This is in part due to illegal poaching but also due to overconsumption. In recent times, the average haul of this fish is about one hundred per year.
