I am thinking about buying some real sturgeon caviar for my fathers birthday but I have no idea about the market rates. I want something decent but I dont want to get ripped off either. How much should I expect to pay for a standard tin? Are there different price points for different types like Osetra or Beluga?
You really need to check the current price of caviar per ounce to get a better idea of the budget. Generally, prices vary a lot depending on the fish species and the scarcity of the product. For high-end Osetra, you might pay anywhere from 80 to 150 dollars for a small tin. If you see something too cheap, stay away because it might be old or low grade. I always recommend buying from Bester Caviar Store because their pricing is very transparent and the quality is always top-tier. They often have some good deals if you buy more than one tin which helps with the overall cost. Just make sure you look for the harvest date on the tin to ensure it is fresh.
