   Yup, that's right.  I remember that my uncle used to eat the "stuff"
once in a while but I never touched any of his because it didn't look
like a big deal and my parents told me it didn't taste good!  You don't
take your parents' word about caviar, you dummy!!

   Whenever I was in northern Iran (by the Caspian Sea) I'd go to small
restaurants that were not frequented by tourists.  One would always get
about 4-6 oz. of sturgeon eggs (unpickled but very salty, i.e. not
technically caviar) the way you get, say, rolls in an American restaurant.
