Paddlefish caviar has gained popularity with fine dining gourmands and has found its way into some of the nation's top restaurants. Often referred to as the “American sturgeon” or “spoonbill”, paddlefish are harvested in the wild from tributaries around the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers.
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.

Be sure to check out our caviar 101 guide. Note that caviar will remain optimal in your refrigerator, unopened, for 4-6 weeks. *except tobikkos and salmonid roes. They should be kept frozen. Crucially, once opened you should consume within three days.
We recommend adding our Caviar Serving Assortment to your caviar order. It includes everything you need to serve and enjoy our caviar (blinis, creme fraiche, and mother of pearl spoons).
