One of Europe’s largest sturgeon farms is in Tiraspol. Some of its excellent caviar stays in the area, but a lot ends up tens of thousands of kilometers away on the tables of connoisseurs and fine restaurants. The fish are as long as a man is tall, leaving caviar buyers and tourists — especially children — agape. This makes it a great place to bring the family. Another attraction is seeing how one of the world’s most expensive culinary delights — black caviar — is processed. The best part is that after you’ve watched it, a fairy-tale tasting awaits you.The seven-hectare farm can produce 50 tons of fish and five tons of caviar a year. The grounds include seven ponds for breeding, growing the fish and recirculating the water. Each pool can accommodate 30 to 100 tons of sturgeon. The complex includes state-of-the-art laboratories.
