American Paddlefish Caviar

Often referred to as “spoonbill” for its distinctive duckbill-shaped snout, the American Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) is a freshwater species native to the Mississippi River system and a close cartilaginous relative of the Hackleback sturgeon. Sourced from the wild waters of the Mississippi and White Rivers—primarily in Tennessee and Arkansas—our premium American Paddlefish caviar offers an exceptional caviar experience at a more accessible price point.

With a color spectrum ranging from soft olive green to rich steel gray, Paddlefish caviar presents a delicate texture and briny flavor that’s often compared to Sevruga from the Caspian Sea. Its bold, earthy notes and smooth pop make it an elegant addition to any caviar board, blini, or fine canapé.

Each jar is hand-packed and carefully inspected to ensure ideal egg size, freshness, and flavor consistency. Whether you’re new to caviar or a seasoned connoisseur, Paddlefish roe offers the sophistication of traditional sturgeon caviar without the premium price tag.
