Examples

“Kalamari ehk kaaviar on kleepuv, musta värvi ja väga maitsev. Sterlet toitub veekogu põhjas liikuvatest putukate tõukudest (valged või roosakad rasvased ussikesed). Sterleti hallikat tooni liha ja nahaalust kattev punakas rasv on maitsvad.”

Fish roe, or caviar, is sticky, black in color, and very tasty. The sterlet feeds on insect larvae (white or pinkish fatty little worms) moving along the bottom of the water body. The sterlet's grayish-toned meat and the reddish fat covering the subcutaneous layer are delicious.
