From Vietnam with love: local caviar aims to make a splash

“It’s an albino,” says Vietnam’s eccentric‘Caviar King’ Le Anh Duc adding triumphantly, “Gold eggs!“
Not only are the eggs from the rare sturgeon -- Duc has just 40 albinos out of half a million fish -- an off-white‘gold’ colour but they are also a money-spinner.

Albino caviar can sell for up to $100,000 per kilogramme, compared to black Beluga caviar, a snip at just $5,000 to $10,000 a kilo according to industry figures.
