I'd love to see this as a series, farm to table.
It's a bit arch. But the show has jumped the shark so many times it's due for a farm-to-table jumped shark episode.

@@blairhoughton7918Boy you talk too much🤣 This is a TH-cam Channel, not a television series, come on..
"But fresher"
It is a series just google farm to table! Josh has run out of ideas at this point!
"Farm to Table" and "Josh Cooks For Guest" are two outstanding series ideas, this one was outstanding, and his cook and chat with Martins Licis was an excellent combo of food and interviewing. Good to see him again on this episode, hope he becomes a common guest!
I hope this comment will not get lost!
calm down mrs weissman
Farm to Table + Be My Guest are both cool cooking show concepts :)
Goodness people.. stop complaining about how he doesnt cook. He literally just showed and did the whole process to MAKE caviar. Start your own channel if you dont like it.
Start your own comments section then.
@@blairhoughton7918 you thought you did something

Real. Keeping it fresh is how you survive on TH-cam. People whining are actively saying they want the channel to die without realizing that's what they're saying.
definitely one of the better series you have done.
More of this, please.
Are you saying his other series are shit?
@@bird9455 I fail to see why the other person thinks this is a slight improvement from Josh's usual luxury nonsense, but yes, yes they are. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themself or suffering a bad case of brainrot.
As has been said before, many times in fact; MrBeast and his consequences have been a disaster for the TH-cam content creation.

@@professorquack32 Nope, can't be "ragebait" if most people agree with me.
@@StanleyNumber427well then why are you watching it you dumbo nobody told you that you had to watch it
I love how they talked so highly of their workers. It gives them such pride in being able to showcase their skills ❤
I noticed that too ! They must be great to work for.
In Russia, Belarus, and Lithuania they don't kill the sturgeon but using non-lethal methods like massaging the fish to get 80-90% eggs through a small incision on the belly. In return the fish not only survive but can still produce one or two more batch of eggs before being sent to harvest their meat instead. China and the USA are currently the top producers because high volume of farm fisheries and less concerned of reusability. Different buisiness models I guess.
The live methods are more logical. If it's good caviar, you can then choose to breed it. This is workable, but less effective if you actually want quality.
Thanks for the information
The Beluga (sturgeon) are critically endangered and they produce the most sought after caviar in the world and they are native to the the countries that you mentioned...I should hope you guys do your due diligence ! The caviar market is going to wipe the species off the planet...and its all for the RICH!
Bro thats what i was thinking of too
Are you sure about this? I thought fish would be similar to human females in that respect, meaning that they hatch with a fixed amount of eggs, that can only decrease from that point forward, but that they can't produce more eggs.
Thank you for having us be a part of this! 😄
L your caviar is shit lvl 1💀
No reply’s?
Fr no replys
I would also remind people that "caviar" is sturgeon roe. There's plenty of cheaper fish roe from other fish that isn't as expensive, try paddlefish roe, it's almost as good and way cheaper
My first experience with fish roe came from a rainbow trout I caught myself as a kid. I've yet to taste better.
Yes, trout roe can be REALLY good if you have the perfect fish and the patience to do it right... I was lucky to have some from a big fat 7lb Lahonton Cutthroat mama a few years ago (Pyramid Lake, NV; that's pretty big for a trout)... I would've released her if I had caught her, but she was delivered (alive) to my doorstep by my fisherman friend, so what could I do? I took out the roes, cleaned them (it took many hours and many gallons of water; I had to do it egg-by-egg, since I didn't have the proper equipment), and salted them... The flesh itself was extremely greasy/oily, but the day-old eggs were very tasty; we enjoyed them with lemon and dill and shallots on rye toast.
salmon roe is really good (though still relatively expensive)
i absolutely love fish roe! itd be cool to try caviar some day but i highly doubt id go out of my way to actually buy some unless i suddenly get really rich lol. for now i will enjoy other kinds of fish roe instead 😅
Seeing were our food comes from. Makes me more appreciative for all the people who put their hard work in to it. So I can have it on my plate
yum
As a caviar hater, I found this very cool and interesting to watch.
Taste like dirt
Never had it before personally, looks funny so I don't want to eat it, but I really want to know what it tastes like at the same time.....but free caviar is kinda hard to come by.
@@marcmontalvo787it does lol
The ceo was a funny dude
Next time, Joshua knows not to get his jacket wet.
He passed, he is not on the ceo list 😂
@doms.6701 Aww man Luigi got another one...
Lmao
1000 likes nice for you man
Ok, so as someone who doesn't eat seafood, this is Not ever something I would go for. However, knowing there are people who do and how the process works is pretty cool. Thank you.
The good caviar doesn't taste like seafood at all - it tastes buttery and fresh! Delicious! Decadent!
@@hannahpumpkins4359 It's certainly Decadent. $120 a can? You could feed quite a few families with that.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket Mr. Washington came back to life to say facts, lol
Thought ae.thing then I tried it ), it's actually really good
I DO like the caviar farms that have bred to be able to pull the eggs from LIVE females.
Smaller amounts of caviar, but no culling needed.
This place is fine, though. No waste, and that meat looks **HEAVENLY**. I'd kill to try it.
Why? Unless you don't eat any seafood or meats, then why does it matter if they kill them and use the fish meat as well.
@@emu_warriorI am sorry your reading comprehension is Tumblr-level and your ability to pick up implications is... Not working?
I do not like the wasteful companies. I prefer the caviar farms that keep their fish alive cause most just cull the females and do nothing with the meat. This place does not do that. That is good. A+! I still have a preference on companies I'd buy from, if presented options with info.
@@emu_warriorThe roe are worth much more than the fish. And older, bigger fish make more, and it's better quality, and in caviar being even a little bit better means commanding much higher prices. So getting multiple harvests from one fish could improve their business. Or maybe not. They'd have to do the math because there's no way we can know all the parameters from our basements littered with McNugget boxes.
I think I saw a video once where they turned the fish upside down and just massaged the eggs out of it.
The harvest is definitely much less compared to the whole block we see in this video, so it had to have been priced maybe triple what this sells for to be worth it.
@@TPixelAdventures We maybe saw the same video. The first batches are harvested from live fish to let the fish grow older and produce better product, once it`s fully mature fish with best caviar it`s slaughtering time.
I like Ali's sense of humor!! Relaxed with a touch of sarcasm! 😂
Loved this video sir. Even as a chef, we don't get to see the behind the scenes often. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love that instead of just doing the same old videos and rinsing them for every penny, he’s actually making bigger and more expensive videos for us to enjoy! Respect
1:37 "i kinda like it"💀
Thats wild
‘To each his own’ but my brother Christ may need some help😂
😂😂😂😂 I kinda liked it killed me
No nemo
You can tell he goes to the river and puts his pecker in fish mouth
Thanks for your hard work and especially thanks for keeping everything ethical and morally sound. You deserve every cent.
For those that don't know: the term "beluga" in beluga caviar relates to the kind of sturgeon that the fish eggs are gathered from. There are other kinds of caviar that aren't from beluga sturgeons and they tend to be cheaper, the most common being ossetra and sevruga caviars.
None of it is really worth the price though, if you ask me.
Wild - Beluga Sturgeon are critically endangered...and the caviar market is to blame
Such a great episode! I enjoyed it, learned a lot, and am already on the Tsar Nicoulai site buying some for my birthday in a few weeks!!! 🐟💨🥚
Farm to table needs to be a series ! amazing video
This is one of the most interesting videos that I personally have ever watched. I have been an on line user since way back when bulletin boards were the way to go, then the internet, then myspace, youtube, instagram etc etc till today. (my mates old man was in the csiro so we were spoiled with online access in a way). When I see some of the mindless self centered rubbish that gets posted now, it renews my faith to see a video like this. I love cooking, food, wine etc but I have never felt that I have enough money to justify tasting real caviar. But I am going to make sure I experience this once in my life. The amount of effort that goes into producing it makes me think it may be worth a try. Thanks Joshua. I really like your channel content
I think while taste,texture,looks and smell are very important in cooking understanding where your food comes from is also super important
Yes it makes me appreciate food differently
If Josh is moving away from recipes, I am 100% behind THESE videos. I never watch the "I ate at every x restaurant" or "I had the best x food!"
This is way more interesting than those videos
Copy and pasted and changed the end, ain't fooling anyone
extremely interesting video. I really love to watch these farm to table videos, because it gives a whole other perspective on things, we tend to not give even the smallest of thoughts.
Hey Joshua. Just wanted to thank you for making great content that you make on the channel.
This video on caviar is so informative that I have seen. It really gives insight on how people/industry view and value caviar. 👍👏👍👏
Super entertaining and informative. Great vid, Josh!
I love hpw people understands that this is an industry and does not start a controversyabout the caviar making process😊.
I’m super glad you adressed your glasses. That was literally making my skin crawl 8:41
I'm really glad you showed this, people really need to know where their food comes from.
Honestly I love this, I feel like farm's that have to kill animals to sell their product have a bad reputation, but there are good company's and they do use every part of the animal and are respectful it's awesome
Josh, It must be tough seeing through the fog on your glasses 😂😂😂
aahahaha))
Relatable. I felt the pain myself. All throughout covid times had my glasses foggy.
This was a great episode!
Amazingly interesting to see the process and see people’s reaction to good caviar. Makes me want to try some!
I've been watching his videos since 2021, he basically taught me how to cook.
This is the 1st time I've noticed the he wears glasses 😭😂😂
Bro was locked behind the foggy glasses for the whole video. I feel you brother.😂
Literally came to the comments to see if this was driving anyone else as nuts as it was me. 😂
I LOVE how eco friendly and humane this farm is ❤
One thing I will never understand: They say to not use metal spoons for caviar because it alters the flavour yet EVERY SINGLE STEP here involves metal utensils to procress the caviar and they get shipped in METAL TINS.
yeah, the metal utensil bit is bullshit from the days when silverware was actually made of silver. And not because it affected the caviar, but because it ruined the silver plating due to salt corrosion.
It does not matter when handling the caviar, it's simply that the flavor of steel is said to be noticeable in the mouth when tasting caviar. So you can totally use metal utensils when handling caviar, but shouldn't use a metal spoon when you want to eat the caviar from the spoon. At least that's the theory, it might be a myth.
🤦😑 The metal doesn't impact the food genius, it impacts your tongue (metal has a taste). Putting metal in your mouth is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than putting something in your mouth which was stored in a metal container. Dumb comment is dumb. 🤷
@@Cooe. You're speaking awfully confidently for someone who hasn't got a freaking clue what he's yapping about.
@@charlesparr1611 Metal directly on the tongue has a taste. Look it up dingus.
I can't believe I wasn't subscribed to this channel yet! I've been watching for years, not even noticing that it was just the algorithm feeding it to me. My apologies to Mr. Weissman and crew; these videos are among the best out there. (I trust Josh's recipes before G. Ramsay's, any day.)
This channel gets it right, in the same way as the old Food Network TV shows like "Good Eats" (with Alton Brown) and "Taste" (with David Rosengarten). Bravo! 👏👏👏
The production quality on this feels like I'm watching "Dirty Jobs" with Josh filling in.😂
@Josh, I would recommend LASIK then you can really appreciate all the beauty of food. Laughed so hard at the eye lash wiper segment 😂
Thanks for doing this video, very insightful
Please make this a series! Very cool to learn the process.
I watched this when it came out, and didn't realize that this was Sacramento area until I just saw a Food&Wine IG post that said they just bought another spot that's like 5 miles from where I live. The spot in this video is about that too! 🤯
I love the jacket arc. Sad it end too soon.
Wild. Ive always wanted to try caviar and seeing how its made makes me want to try it even more. Maybe for my next birthday
Farm to Table is a pretty cool format. Would be cool to see more vids like this
I have waited for Spy to play Poppy Platime Chapter 4 for sooooo long. He makes such good vids. Keep up the good work Spy!
Dude Martins is one of my favorite TH-camrs!! I love the places he visits! The people he meets! Everything about his videos are killer! And he's a GREAT dude!
I know perfectly well how it’s made but it’s so satisfying that I just want to see it for the 10th time 😂
Wow, the meticulous cleaning process for caviar sounds fascinating! Makes me appreciate the delicate texture even more Wonder how that translates to achieving the perfect balance in a sauce
Love these types of videos. I like seeing the process of the ingredients I use.
How about an "Izzy Cooks" series - Josh teaches a "minimum wage worker" how to stretch her food budget and make healthy delicious meals
literally teaching cooking technique, hands on, with an actual non-cook would be extremely useful content. Dunno how many youtube consumers (who pretty obviously never actually cook) who seem to be most of the audience these days, would actually watch that though.
He has sort of done that on his cheaper but better series. Yes, there is a need. No one should have to pay through the nose when you can eat well on almost nothing. For years, we've spent half of what the USDA lowest cost meal plan, the Thrifty Meal Plan. Half being
There's a million budget wine mom channels already.
@@Deletirium but they don't have Izzy
The subplot about you stealing his jacket was hilarious 😂
Making your own caviar is fascinating! 🐟✨ I love how you take us through the entire process, from visiting the caviar farm to actually extracting the roe. It's amazing to see how much care and precision goes into producing something so luxurious. The ultrasound method for checking the fish is really interesting, and I appreciate how you explain everything in detail. Can't wait to see how the final product turns out! Thanks for sharing this unique experience! 😍👏
Did AI write this lmao
@@justvibingtomusic Thought the same thing
That has to be one of the best jackets of all time 😂😂😂 he loves it 😂😂
thank you for showcasing the opinions of regular “minimum wage workers” instead of influencers with money who would just tell us to go out and buy these things ❤
Wasn't expecting a Full Metal Jacket quote in a Caviar video but I'm glad it was there.
Sorry, I have to pause here.
As a Russian, hearing that the American farm is called "Tsar Nicoulai" is hilarious.
i was just thinking the same lolol
Well, they all die in the end
The tsar pronunciation had me cringing a bit and I'm not even russian, I'm bulgarian
A lot of immigrants to the US over the decades. It isn’t uncommon for names to be pronounced differently by the 2nd or 3rd generations in a new country.
I don’t even like caviar but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great video, Josh!
We got Josh's eggs before GTA 6
😂
We need a Playstation 4 pro and switch 2 release of gta 5 first.
ayyy yoooo
True professional! Even didn’t mind the foggy glasses and there was lots of it! ❤
2:20 THIS FISH WHAT
He said ripe... right??
I was mortified when I heard that
Sounds like he said "depar" backwards 😂😂😂
He said ripe.
@ThecaeruleusMantisI only hear that when I put my phone literally right next to my ear. When the video is playing though, that's not what it sounds like.

Caviar amd champagne classic💪💪💪
I do like caviar, but I'm also intrigued by the idea of smoked sturgeon, because I also love smoked fish, and do not want to see food wasted!
Didnt love that answer on why its so expensive to be honest... lol 3:56. So he basically described almost any farm and that's it
He also mentioned 10years of work, majority work done by hand.
I think he wanted to express why it was expensive throughout the video
Hey Josh , you should use MSG when you’re making your caviar and make uncle Rodger proud 😂
I appreciate the big effort they make to stuard this opperation. It really is something the US should be leading the way on. Fish are very good ecosystem litmus. Wild asside, farmed- this is as good as Ive seen.
*Steward?
And fish in tanks aren't interacting with the ecosystem, to a useful degree.
But if they're making good stuff and paying people good money for decades of labor and taking pressure off wildlife and not creating a superfund site, then slaintè!
Love it. Love seeing how products get to us. I was very hesitant trying caviar for the first time as someone who has a ton of food aversion. It was flat out delicious.
Time to fry some chicken!
Hey babe, What do you want to eat?
Wooow thank you for for a very informative video...... You have a new fan lol !! Greets from Germany !
10:24 That fist bump killed at least five baby Fish
🤓 akshully the eggs aren't fertilized so there are no baby fish
mf they're literally making caviar that doesn't mean no shit
It was supposed to be a joke :l
Loved the full metal jacket pun. Top class xD
Dude. This seems like the best possible answer to 'why do I want to be a professional/TH-cam chef?'
The way your glasses fogged up more and more as the video went was funny to me :)
6:20 that military joke this caviar is my caviar there is not other caviar like it becouse this one is mine
Its the marine corps rifleman creed but modified
Without my caviar I'm useless, without me my caviar is useless
Awesome video! Love watching the caviar production process
That's so interesting how caviar is made, awesome video!
When you said a a “BUMP “ I thought ya was going to start snorting 🤣🤣
Fun idea for a video (or series): *"Recreating dishes from Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars"*
The dishes are stunning, reworked classics with no recipes online-right up your alley. Fans would love it, and you could even invite mukbangers from the restaurant episodes to judge whether you nailed the recreations.
Some ideas: Mala dim sum (Jung Ji-sun) or Edward Lee’s reworked bibimbap!"
Would love to see this
This video is a masterpiece. Great job Josh & Vicram. The CEO creating a jacket meme was also top tier content.
I liked that humor.
Very interesting process, just didnt understand what's the point of saying that the process is ‘fish friendly’ and ‘not stressful’ if you're going to slaughter the animal straight away. lol
I have been craving caviar since I watched this video and I blame you and everyone involved 😂
9:33 this dudes been assaulting caviar for 10 years and has yet to been arrested that’s the true problems with our legal system
heheh, good one
Wtf are you talking about? Are you retarded?
Not me waiting for the one kid who doesn’t understand the joke 💀
Never knew this and they are just miles away from me! 🤯😆
You could have used caviar from a different fish, and imitation in the test, that stuff goes for 5 to 20 euro...but it's probably not actually caviar, still interesting what the difference is in taste.
I enjoyed this; my son wants a can of caviar for Christmas! Now you should go over the "fake" caviar from other fish, because that's what he'll get if any.
20:50 as a minimum wage worker 😂
Those new glasses? I really like them. Cool style. I'm gonna need new ones here soon, so I might try a style like that if I can find some...
You looked like bubbles from trailer park boys starting around the 8:37 mark lol
the best joke was his jacket lol it was cold, jacket got wet lol , and at the end he brought it up again .
Josh looks like Eren's dad
Them jacket jokes were the chefs kiss..😂
That guy really wanted his jacket back hahahahaha🤣🤣
1:20 “a 1mil of Caviar fish so pls don’t f*** dis up…..” Was SO funny
There is not much guesswork involved: Siberian sturgeon caviar, known for its pitch-black eggs, is the most affordable option. Russian sturgeon caviar, with its dark brown and greenish eggs, is preferred by many top French chefs; it is quite expensive and has a notably good flavor. Hybrid caviar, often referred to as Beluga-sturgeon or Bester, is considered inferior and is even cheaper than Siberian sturgeon caviar. Albino sturgeon caviar, while average in taste, is highly sought after for its rarity, making it a status symbol rather than a culinary delight. True Beluga caviar, distinguished by its large brown-green eggs, is the most expensive, largely due to its scarcity and its near-illegal status, comparable to Cuban cigars.
The best fish eggs were from the big minnows I caught as a kid. Fried the minnows and sauted the bright yellow eggs. Not bad. I've had the best caviar Russia can provide but ack. You can have my share of any grade. I'd rather pay the rent.
This was a great episode! I feel like you out did yourself! Love it, love caviar. Can't have it like that but good.
