Support Sustainable U.S. Aquaculture

With over 80% of caviar distributed in the USA being imported from Chinese farms, family-operated Marshallberg Farm aims to break the mold and sustainably produce Osetra caviar right here in the USA.

Using new, state-of-the-art R.A.S. (recirculating aquaculture system) technology, we are able to raise our sturgeon without being dependent on an outside body of water (lake, river, pond, etc.). We recycle over 95% of our water, responsibly containing our waste instead of releasing it into the environment. We are the only full RAS sturgeon farm in the USA, ranked a “Best Choice” for sustainability by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch (seafoodwatch.org).
By using a recirculating system, we are not at the mercy of outside pollutants, and maintain full control of our water quality. This system is more like a water treatment plant than a fish farm. We filter about 1 million gallons a day, giving us the highest filtration possible for our fish.

High filtration = clean water = happy fish = better caviar!

Unlike imports, we do not use borax or any other chemicals in our caviar production. We follow strict U.S. regulations for environmental, health and food safety.

American Caviar Reviews

American caviar reviews may be hard to come by. What’s the reason? It’s simple – there are not many American caviar reviews out there because there isn’t much American caviar! Today, most (sturgeon) caviar in the U.S. comes from China or Iran, and is redistributed in fancy tins that say “Paris” or “New York.” Although domestic farmed White sturgeon, Hackleback and Paddlefish roe has been around for a while, the originally Caspian-derived caviars like Osetra (from the Osetra - aka Russian - sturgeon), Beluga (from the Huso-Huso) and Baeri (from the Siberian Sturgeon), are being imported from farms in China and Iran. Until now. Osetra caviar from Russian sturgeon farmed in the U.S. is now being produced by Marshallberg Farm in North Carolina. Why don’t other farms raise Russian sturgeon? One good reason is because it takes almost 10 years of keeping the fish until they are ready for caviar harvest. Running a recirculating Aquaculture System can cost upwards of 1 million dollars per year (following U.S. environmental standards), so it makes sense to choose the other sturgeon types that take less time to yield profit.However, Osetra is one of the most coveted types of caviar, only rivaled by Beluga. If you’ve had Osetra caviar lately, it was most likely from China or Iran. China has virtually no environmental standards, and both imports are known to have borax added as a preservative. It’s also possible that Osetra caviar found in the U.S. is from poached Osetra sturgeon from the Caspian Sea.
