FreshDV. Wide Open Camera. NOWNESS. Freshly harvested Siberian sturgeon caviar is meticulously cleaned, salted, measured and preserved as photographer Mark Mahaney examines the processing of one of the most luxurious edibles on the planet. A product of the sturgeon program at the non-profit Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, the local caviar has been sourced to fine restaurants including Napa Valley’s three-Michelin-starred Meadow Wood and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. “We are dealing with some of the top palates on the planet and we have to provide these chefs with a consistently high quality product,” says Seth Cripe, founder and co-owner of Anna Maria Fish Company, a leading distributor of Mote’s caviar. “We are there tasting every fish to make sure each one is perfect. Besides, eating caviar never really gets old.”

The source: 30,000+ females from seven year-differentiated classes of fish. Weight issues: The average female weighs about 11kg. Size matters: Eggs range from 2.4-2.6 mm in diameter. Management FAVI - Le système FAVI. Hillman Curtis. Philip Bloom - DP, Director, Filmmaker.
