History of Bulgarian Caviar
The legend began in 1966 in Tutrakan. There lived the best fishermen down the Danube River.
Almost every house on the coast of the city is a fisherman’s or a master of boats’, to whom their fame was celebrated throughout all of Bulgaria.

They caught the largest fish in the river and were so brave that in 1974 the only Balkan Museum of Danube Fishing and Boat Construction was opened in their honor.
The trophy of their fishing was the beluga or european sturgeon, which reaches 1600 kg of weight, 6 meters long and has a delicious black heron.

During the 70s-80s of the 20th century, almost every family in town has black caviar in their refrigerator. Every occasion is celebrated with the caviar prepared by good masters from the Danube sturgeon. At that time there were five different species of sturgeon fish in the Danube River.
The Bulgarians began to associate their ideas about the town of Tutrakan and the Danube River not only with the fish soup, but also with the delicious black caviar.

The time comes for a total ban on catches of sturgeon fish and this delicacy disappears from the tables, and by 2013 it's seemingly been forgotten.
