Caviar

Caviar, or roe, were fish eggs harvested from several species of fish and used as flavorful food, usually smoked or salted.

Some of the fish that produced roe used as food included hammerscale – an extremely expensive and valuable variety, and sturgeon, a more common fish. Sturgeon from the Sea of Moving Ice in the Frozenfar was valued for its caviar, small eggs, black in color. Sahuagin caviar was a rare delicacy in the city of Baldur's Gate, served to His Grace, Judge Marthius Warman in the late 15 century DR. Sea urchin roe was also a popular food item across Faerûn and on the Sword Coast.
Fish eggs were considered more of an exotic delicacy in the city of Westgate and were sold in the fish markets of Ravens Bluff just outside of the City Gates. Inhabitants of the City of Splendors, Waterdeep, enjoyed biscuits spread with fish roe from The Elfstone Tavern.
The city of Kwachow – the City of Melons, of the Merket Depression in the Hordelands, produced smoked sturgeon and caviar, exporting it to Rashemen and Murghôm, where it was a prized delicacy, popular among the courtiers. Similarly, salted caviar was eaten by the nobility of Arrabar in Chondath. Another major exporter of caviar was Lapaliiya on the Chultan Peninsula. Lushpool's freshwater fish roe was considered a delicacy across Faerûn and brought Lapaliiya much wealth.
The Ancients of the Malatran Plateau brought caviar to their cities via spelljammers in the region's past.
