I would much rather kill wild fish than harvest tame fish. Here in Alaska they commercially net large quantities of herring that are stripped of roe for sale to Japan. It gets specially processed for sale as high-priced New Year's gifts. There is also a gourmet item called "herring roe on kelp". Herring on the verge of spawning are netted and placed in impoundments, where they spawn on kelp. The kelp is then dried and made into a chewy snack. I think the herring are released after spawning.

Long time lurker, but this has brought me out of the woodwork.. Tested at Eco L/R -3.38 Soc L/R -2.46. Places me in that dreaded lower left quadrant, strangely though I enjoy Caviar.<gg> OOOHHHHHMMMMM... Dave.

I haven't met an egg yet which isn't delicious. I would love to have moa eggs and I'm sure I could develop a market for kiwi eggs, which are big things. Conservationists would have an epileptic fit at the suggestion. I think kiwi probably tastes delicious too. Moas are extinct, but were an ostrich/emu type bird. Some of them huge. I have no idea how they got to NZ. They were ratites. Caviar has snob value only. It's no nicer than all sorts of other fish eggs, which I prefer. Mqurice
