Most "real" caviar comes from the sturgeon and come from the Caspian Sea. The three main types of caviar are beluga (the most expensive), osetra and sevruga. All these have gray or black eggs.

For the more economy minded, Other popular types include salmon (medium, orange to dark red eggs), lumpfish (tiny, shiny and frim black eggs) and whitefish (smaller, yellowish eggs).
