Paddlefish Caviar

Commonly called "Spoonbills,” are a cartilaginous cousin to sturgeons and yield roe ranging in color from pale through dark steel-grey and golden "osetra brown."

Paddle fish is found in the Mississippi River and its tributaries (Tennessee, Alabama and Missouri Rivers) as well as China.  A primitive species the paddlefish is distinguished by its long paddle like snout and can reach a length of 8 feet weighing up to 200 pounds.

Like the sturgeon the paddlefish has a cartilaginous skeletal system.  The caviar is smaller and has a more crunchy texture than its Caspian Sea relatives.  This caviar has a smooth and silky with a rich, complex flavor but the resource is not large enough to support a large commercial industry.
