I heard that Cali caviar is the way to go if you are in the states instead of springing for the much more expensive European stuff. Hank, thanks for the tip.

The white sturgeon from the Sacramento River or the Columbia River sturgeon are similar to osetra. Laocook: OK, I am intrigued. How to you make the octopus chips?

I have seen it written also as:

(Chokdee) Pee Mai
(Sok Dee) Pi May
or as  
Bpee Mai (Wikipedia)
Pii Mai (The Telegraph Newspaper, UK)

I guess it is a case of you say Potaato, I say Potayto… :)

I can see from your blog that have been busy. Moving house can be quite stressful! You should really go out and buy yourself some Caviar, or better still, get someone else to buy it! ;) Caviar prices depend on the quality and make. I have seen 50g tins sell for 250-300€ in restaurants. However, if you can find a supplier or store, expect to pay between 1.50 and 2€ per gram. They are normally sold in 30g, 50g, 100g, 200g tins. 30-50g per person should be adequate. That 950g Tin didnt last long as it was opened for a special meal and for some amuse bouches. Now that Caviar stocks are running extremely low, the prices have changed a lot, and will continue to do so, but Farm Rasied Caviar is a good alternative. </p> Hiya Lao Ocean!
