The History of the Sturgeon

The History of Caviar Begins with the Sturgeon…

Caviar Consumption

Before speaking of caviar, it is worth remembering that the sturgeon itself was once considered far more valuable than its roe.

From Russian Wild Caviar to Iranian Wild Caviar

For centuries, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea have been regarded as the natural kingdoms of the sturgeon…

Fishing Regions

Nearly all species of Acipenser are migratory fish. Like salmon, sturgeons travel upstream into freshwater rivers during spawning season.

Fishing Methods

Sturgeons are traditionally caught during their migration, as they leave marine waters to reach freshwater spawning grounds near estuaries and along the coastline.

Fishing Seasons

Sturgeon fishing extends throughout most of the year, with the exception of the hottest months in Iran and the depths of winter along the northern shores of the Caspian Sea, when ice makes all fishing activity impossible.
