Heck, I eat a lot of fish but I'm far from sure I'd recognize a substitution for any of the mild white fillet fish. Part of the reason they're popular is that they're inoffensive -- can we really tell them apart? Had I mentioned we’re taking you for seafood for your birthday?

But friends don't let friends waste caviar. I eat red snapper (or rather, alleged red snapper) all the time. Who knows what kind of fish I've actually been chomping on? I think half the problem is that most Americans can only name three kinds of fish (tuna, salmon, and filet-o-fish) and the way most people cook them, they probably all taste the same. Not a large enough pool of educated consumers. It was rough. But friends don’t let friends waste caviar.

Too funny, and you girls are sensitive souls to help him out by taking that caviar off his hands. He didn’t fall asleep at the table!

Her husband, astonishingly enough, passed out during the appetizers at Caviar Russe last week. Emma, Betsy, and I were kind enough to finish off his chef's sampler of caviar. :) Where’s Emma when we need her?

I'm honestly not sure how much of a difference there is -- it's still sturgeon but of course it's a different species of sturgeon. And some of the domestic species are also threatened or endangered, so it's not really an improvement from a conservation standpoint. I'm thinking I need to improve my palate for caviar so I can tell? Are we talking soft-shoe dance entertained, or cute bag entertained?

I'm locked out of my regular haunt. BORED! You gals had better keep me entertained today!
