I ate caviar.

Caviar is fish eggs.

We practically can t buy caviar from the Caspian Sea any more.

One prominent example of the involvement of organized criminal groups is the trade in illegal caviar.

They are considered a form of insect caviar and can sell for as much as US 40 per pound ( 90 kg) because they are seasonal and hard to find.

With its high value, relatively low bulk and ease of transport, easily disguised identity and origin and the potential to exploit the market demand unmet by restricted supplies, the caviar trade offers organized criminal groups a low risk, high profit activity.

By the late 1990s it was estimated that over 50 per cent of the world trade in caviar was illegal and that in some areas less than one fifth of the actual sturgeon catch was thought to be officially registered.

And the same kind of technology it's called DNA barcoding, it's really cool You can use it to check if your caviar is really beluga, if that sushi is really tuna, or if that goat cheese that you paid so much for is really goat's.

In his book A Confession, he wrote, As long as Russians are so poor and dismal, I can t eat sturgeon and caviar, I can t race cars, ignoring traffic lights, I can t take imported super pills, knowing that a neighbor has no aspirin for a child.
