You can buy it by mail order but I doubt you will find it anywhere on the shelf as it is so expensive and perishable.

If you are unsure about buying on line , Inquire at your nearest fish, wholesale outlet. I am sure they will point you in the right direction.
One bluff oyster cost us $2.00each. maybe one teaspoon of caviar, $20.00. just a guess.

Lumpfish caviar is what is normally sold in NZ and probably everywhere else as well. I used to buy it from the refrigerated stand, located in the Fish Department of any large supermarket. It may not be available. I have discovered that the genuine Lumpfish caviar is only available around Xmas time. There is a product made from seaweed, sold as caviar and in an identical glass pottle. I've never bought it so cannot vouch for it.

Salmon caviar is also readily available in the South.

I have bought caviar in the past from the supermarket at Fendalton (cnr Clyde & Fendalton Roads) It was about $15-20 for a jar a bit smaller than a paint test pot.

Smoked up some Kahawai roe yesterday though which was yum on some crackers with feta and a slice of tomato :)

Are you sure it actually was caviar?At that price it is more likely to be lumpfish roe or salmon roe.
