Hailing from Louisiana, the indigenous bowfin, also known as “Choupique”, and has been popular in Cajun cooking since the first settlers arrived. It is sometimes called Cajun caviar. Though not a sturgeon, this ancient freshwater bowfin species produces a robust and distinct roe that has gained popularity in American caviar circles due to its affordable price and high quality. Bowfin Caviar is wonderful as a garnish, appetizer, or even in baked preparations where the roe turns to a red color once cooked.
