types of caviar

Although for a long time only Russian caviar was referred to as caviar, today the definition has expanded both semantically and geographically. Caviar now comes from many different places in the world, Russia, Iran, Bulgaria, America, Europe, and even Latin America. And even within each country there are many different varieties of caviars. American caviar, for example, includes Hackleback, Paddlefish, Bowfin, and Salmon Roe (to mention a few).
