Paddlefish Caviar (Spoonbill)
Prized for its elegant flavor at a manageable price, this American caviar exhibits many of the characteristics of its Caspian cousins: consistent sizing of the eggs, a gray sheen, and a rich, smooth, creamy flavor. At first glance, it bears a striking resemblance to sevruga for its size and color. Moreover, our paddlefish has a nutty flavor that is reminiscent of osetra sturgeon.
