    I’m still holding my judgement on caviar. I assume there’s a reason that it’s so popular, and not just because it’s expensive, which is to say that I think the people shelling out to eat it wouldn’t do so if it tasted like fish ass.

      I used to work in the seafood industry and I got invited to a seafood expo once. There were tons of vendors and since I’m super poor and not fancy, i ate everything. Figured I’d never get another chance. I ate so much caviar and roe that day.

      It’s fuckin’ nasty. Every species and preparation I tried. Tbf I was at an expo, not a nice resturant, but also tbf, it was an expo, they were trying to market their best products.

        Well, I’ll be damned. Straight from the horse’s mouth, it really does taste like crap. That’s wild, maybe it’s stuffed with vitamins and minerals… someone ages ago had the idea to cram those fish eggs into their craw, so I guess it was one of those meals of necessity? If that’s the case, I’ll be damned if I can figure out why someone would luxuriate crummy eggs on crackers.

      I’ve had it and while it’s good it’s often served with hard boiled eggs and crackers so it kinda tasted like those things. I would say it’s overrated.
