"A high-end U.S. caviar purveyor described as conveniently close to the author; its finest roe is sold at about $504 per 50 grams and presented as fat, coral-hued beads that look more like the raw material for an oligarch’s necklace than something edible. The shop offers a one-kilogram portion—the largest size—at $16,000, a premium retail offering that still falls well short of the $30,000–$40,000 valuation cited elsewhere in the report, suggesting it is a well-known domestic source for luxury caviar but not the likely origin of the extraordinarily priced tin." - Ryan Sutton
