Thread: Royal Project Begins Sale of Locally Produced Caviar

CHIANG MAI - The Royal Project and the Research and Development Inland Fisheries Centre have announced the sale of locally produced rainbow trout caviar after successful breeding programs in Jomthong district.

The breeding program began in 2005, and was very successful. Today they have over 20 tonnes of Rainbow Trout producing large amounts of caviar that can be sold at a local price.

However, thanks to the successful breeding project, Royal Project will no begin selling their premium caviar at 5,000 baht per 100 grams.

At 50,000 baht a kilo for the fish eggs, I'd rather eat the fish. I like a nice bit of grilled trout.

The price is competitive if it taste (nearly) as good as russian caviar.
That will make great meals like Som tam caviar pala ...

No chance. If you read, it is "trout caviar"...more like the tuff they throw on your sushi.

When the Russians were occupying Afghanistan, we used to get (in New Delhi) large tins of great caviar for next to nothing. Sold in Kabul on the black market by Russian military and smuggled out by crew on weekly Indian Airlines flights. Big tins of Russian crab meat as well.

So what does caviar taste like?

Once a pleb, always a pleb. Caviar isn't available in 7/11 anyway.

Fake caviar...It had to happen...

Fish roe is quite cheap in Thailand. I wonder where the market is in Thailand for roe at 50,000 baht a kilo. Perhaps exporting it would be a better idea.

เบลูก้า brand has a nice ring to it, yes.

Thanks, didn't notice it was trout "caviar" ... so the price is not good, trout eggs are sold between 70 and 150 € in Europe, a bit more expensive in UK and US (double the price figure) as it sports the name "caviar" there, so Thailand just followed the english/american trend with this name ...

That's 100gm, a mug full (one fish worth) of trout or salmon roe for Bt5,000.

Bt 5,000 per fish! That's a ridiculous price!
