How do they get caviar from fishes?!
How do they get caviar from fishes?
Do they cut open the fish and get the eggs or wait until the fish lay eggs and then take them?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm vegetarian, and I don't want to eat caviar if an animal died... it's so good though. D:

Sorry but someone caught that fish and it has been cut open and cleaned.
Sorry, they whack the fish.
companies take it all different ways..but i think that the majority are killed...sorry
but caviar is an animal..it is eggs....so vegetarian...you truely shouldn't be eating it..it is like eating lamb chops....its the babies
the fish lay the eggs in a stream or river, and people collect them
Yes, the fish dies. They harvest the egg sack after it is gutted. You can make a pretty close mock caviar with black olives and lots of sea salt..
Well technically that fish that the caviar came from ate and killed other fish to make its caviar eggs, so anyway you slice it, an animal died to make the caviar.
They have to cut the fish to get the eggs out, for caviar.
Most are killed to produce the caviar. Here is a comprehensive article on how it is done. In some cases, they can "milk" the eggs out.

I'm quite certain they don't ask politely for the eggs. I think they open them up.
Almost all caviar is harvested from dead fish. Yummy!
BTW: they kill the fish.
Commercial caviar production normally requires stunning the fish (usually by clubbing at the head) and extracting the ovaries; some commercial fish farmers are experimenting with surgically removing roe from living sturgeon, allowing the females to continue producing more roe during their lives.
one more tip as u say u r a vegetarian:
In the vegetarian foodstuffs market, soy-based imitation caviar is produced and sold as a caviar alternative.
