Bowfin, also known by its Cajun name "Choupique," is even more ancient than sturgeon, having remained largely unchanged over millions of years. This bony fish yields small, dark roe with a slight red tint, making it a more affordable substitute for sturgeon caviar. Revered by connoisseurs for its intense, earthy flavor, it offers a mild tang with hints of spice.

Native to Eastern North America, Bowfin thrives in dense populations throughout the Mississippi River and surrounding rivers, lakes, and gulfs. Like prehistoric sturgeon, they can live in both fresh and saltwater.

Caviar Star Bowfin is sourced from partner fishermen in the waters surrounding Baton Rouge, Louisiana, up to Illinois, depending on the season and fishing conditions. We’ve been working with our fishermen for over a decade to refine the roe-processing, creating a product that rivals fine sturgeon caviar in quality—setting it apart from other Bowfin caviars on the market. Try it for yourself!
