I live in the southern parts of Brazil. Salmon itself isn’t cheap here, as it’s imported from Chile, and AFAIK local fish is not suitable for caviar. (I was travelling to Argentina through Paraguay. Weird route due to booze and smuggling. The caviar was something that she bought on a whim alongside the whisky.)
Also, note that with the equivalent of US$7~8 you can buy a whole kilogram of good quality beef here. So two tablespoons of something for the same price is still, well, expensive as fuck.
What country do you live in? Salmon roe is fairly cheap here (like $5-$8 for like two tablespoons at a restaurant).
