If I eat a dish worth $23,308, what should it be? Well, I presume gold, diamond, or may be a jaguar…I am still swinging with the weird food hangover. Can’t help it. Actually, a person who is literally reeling with the weird food bite has a higher tendency of getting blind with the shine of the ALMAS. This fish egg hurricane from the seas holds well only when served in upscale dining establishments in Russia and in the royal banquets. Caviars are no doubt costly, but ALMAS, the Russian for diamond, costs $23,308.
This caviar is extracted from the Beluga fish. The reason for the caviar being costly is the rarity of Beluga. This fish, which is also the largest sturgeon and the only predator in the family, is highly prized because granules or coarse texture and its tender skin. The beluga caviars are costly because of large, compact grains, fine color, and flavor.
It takes many efforts to make the ALMAS caviar. The caviar is extracted from a manual processing. The fish is placed on a coarse mesh place across wooden tub. The roe bags or sacs containing beluga’s eggs are removed. The roes are passed thought the mesh, to grade the eggs and to separate the eggs from the binding tissue. Care is taken while rubbing the roes across the mesh as there are chances of the fish to die during the process leading to a bitter and low-grade caviar.he there are chances of the fish to die hand for optimum control. The process also separates the eggs from binding tissue
If you believe on the saying “old is gold”, then this 100 years old fish is going to fetch 24k gold tin, in which it is packed. Hey, you can get back half the price you paid for the caviar by selling the gold tin. Anyways, this white caviar with an exotic flavor and a buttery texture is captured from Caspian Sea.
