Almost all caviar is harvested from dead fish. Fishermen on the Caspian wait until the mature female sturgeon (which are at least 10 years old) are ready to migrate upstream and lay their eggs. Once caught, the sturgeon will be transferred to a large boat, where workers slit her open and remove her eggs. The caviar is cleaned to prevent spoilage and then packed up; the rest of the fish is sold for flesh. Some Russion fish farmers who raise sturgeon for caviar use a surgical procedure to remove eggs from a female without killing her, then close the incision and return her to the farm population.

Who discovered caviar?
· Who knows when sturgeon roe was first salted and eaten as "caviar". Maybe some cave man wanted to impress his mate on Valentine's Day. The first written record of caviar was from Batu Khan (grandson of Ghengis Khan) in the 1240's. The caviar industry started in Eurasia and around the Mediterranean. Sturgeon roe was heavily salted and packed in wooden casks. The heavy salt allowed extended shelf life. Caviar did not become worldly until the latter part of the 1800's when the French started importing the delicacy from Russia.
