Heh! It is an acquired taste I guess. ;-)
I always, _always_ eat it with cream cheese on crackers or melba toast.
The cream cheese cuts the saltiness considerably.

I only eat it once per year for New Years. It's kinda traditional.
Even the cheap jarred stuff is expensive.

Central Market allows you to taste the various fresh caviar that they
sell during the holiday season and I've just found that the less
expensive ones are actually tastier than the really high priced ones.

Paddlefish is becoming very popular due to the price of Beluga.
Paddlefish are also not a threatened species. They are actually being
farmed for caviar.
