Beluga Hybrid

Historically the most prized wild sturgeon species, Beluga is loved for its large, gray to black eggs that always exude a decadent, briny creaminess. There's a reason it's known to be the most expensive and prized original Caspian species for hundreds of years.

To protect and replenish the endangered wild Beluga populations, it must be imported to the US as a farmed hybrid species. Our sustainable Beluga hybrid is either crossed with the Sevruga (Acipenser stellatus) or the Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus). Both flaunt a smooth, buttery flavor and similar grayish to amber/black color but by nature have a slightly smaller and softer egg.
