Wild American Black Paddlefish Caviar – Premium Spoonbill Roe 100g

American paddlefish have inhabited the rivers of the Mississippi River basin for centuries. Also known as spoonbill because of its distinctive elongated snout, the American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) is a freshwater species related to sturgeon. Its roe offers a distinctive alternative to traditional sturgeon caviar.

Our Black Paddlefish Caviar comes in a convenient 100-gram (3.5 oz) container, making it suitable for intimate gatherings, appetizer platters, or a first introduction to paddlefish roe.

The eggs are medium-sized, firm, and glossy, with colors ranging from light silver-gray to deep charcoal. The texture is delicate yet substantial, with a subtle pop when eaten.

Paddlefish caviar has a mild, earthy flavor with buttery notes, gentle sweetness, and balanced brininess. Its distinctive character makes it an interesting choice for those looking to try a different type of freshwater roe.
