Caviar is odd in that it should just be an additional way to use the fish that get caught. In the past people just thrown it away. Here in Sweden we use cod caviar for example as a common condiment for eggs and it is rather inexpensive. The price of sturgeon caviar is just odd and seems to be mostly about the rarity. I have a hard time imagining the taste being that different from caviar of other similar type of fish. I have eaten roe from many different species and the primary distinction in taste seem to be linked to the oilyness of the fish.
