What a subject... Caviar tasting in Marine & Aquaculture Technology? Yeah Right!
Talk about value adding. Caviar, fish eggs are sold at ENORMOUS prices. Caviar was once just from Sturgeon, a type of fish. Most of the fish species that contribute to 'caviar' are from Europe and Russia... however our Sea Mullet are netted from our 'Pelican Beach' by the Rosetti's and along the NSW coast.
The flesh of the Mullet is VERY low value HOWEVER the egg carrying females are 'stripped' of their roe (eggs) which are exported to Japan at a very large value.
Trout roe is also produced in Australia at the company that we source our Rainbow Trout from.

Observations were made: sight, smell, feel, taste & texture.
* We tasted the roe/caviar before seeing what a Lumpfish looks like. Poor thing!
Students are encouraged to add comments from their observations of Lumpfish Roe (Caviar).
