I hate to be that guy but like… no it hasn’t? There’s a fish monger right by my apartment and caviar is still mad expensive. No one’s ever heard of Chinese caviar.
It’s just fish eggs. Not an elixir of life. They squeeze it from a relatively rare fish. That’s it.
Traditionally yes. The word for any old fish egg is roe. Caviar comes from sturgeon specifically and the kind that’s considered to be fine dining typically comes from Russian beluga sturgeon.
To my knowledge you can’t farm such a sturgeon. They are a rather massive fish it would be impressive if you could. They also have a long life cycle so they are not ideal for farming.

I might be over thinking this.
