Snapshot CP-PUBLIC-2026-11-09-v1 · observed 9 Nov 2026 · FX: ECB reference rates, 9 Nov 2026 · monitor methodology
Non-sturgeon roe (salmon, trout, whitefish, paddlefish, bowfin, lumpfish, tobiko) is shown separately and must not be read as sturgeon caviar.
What these numbers are: median public retail asking price of qualifying exact-pack observations, in EUR/kg, observed 9 Nov 2026. What they are not: verified executed transactions, wholesale, recommended resale price, appraisal, customs value, proof of overpricing, or a forecast. The dataset is geographically uneven (the largest single market is about 49% of usable observations), so a raw listing-weighted figure is not a globally balanced benchmark.
Observed pack-size differential
Small packs usually show a higher EUR/kg than large packs. This is an observed differential, not a proven "packaging premium": it may also reflect brand, market, grade and channel mix.
Data quality
Species resolution is 84%: a material share of premium listings use brand or hierarchy terminology without clearly identifying the underlying species. We describe the data; we do not accuse any brand.
Verified Market Reference — pre-launch
The verified reference is Cavport's institutional end state. It will be built from verified historical arm's-length transactions with invoice and order evidence, payment corroboration where permitted, related-party controls, product state, commercial lane, historical lag, aggregation and suppression, under clean-team processing.
It preserves the established terminology, CQR (Cavport Quality Reference) and CMR (Cavport Market Reference), but these are not published as operational verified references until the methodology's publication gates are satisfied. No verified transaction figures are shown on this site.
