Caviar
Bandar-e Anzali is known to be the world capital of precious caviar. The preparation and marketing of the precious black eggs is a state monopoly, handled through The Iranian Fishing Company under the control of the Finance Ministry. The public is not admitted to the immense refrigerated hangars where tons of sturgeons, monsters between 2 and 3 meters long weighing between 75 and 100 kilograms, are stored after the removal of the caviar, usually equivalent to about one tenth of their weight.
