American Paddlefish Caviar

American Paddlefish Caviar is a bold, briny American roe known for its deep, earthy flavor and smooth, buttery finish. Harvested seasonally from the waters near the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, this caviar features medium-sized pearls in shades of olive to steel gray.

Paddlefish caviar is often compared to traditional sturgeon caviar, but it has its own distinct character. It is a more approachable American caviar with a stronger, earthier profile and a naturally softer texture than some premium sturgeon varieties. Because of its bold flavor, it pairs especially well with classic accompaniments such as blinis, crème fraîche, butter, fresh baguette, or delicate garnishes that help balance and highlight the roe.

Each 4oz jar or 8oz tub is frozen immediately after harvest to preserve freshness, then thawed to order before shipping. Because of the paddlefish variety and the fact that this product is frozen shortly after harvest and thawed to order, the pearls may have a softer, more delicate texture and may not have the same firm “pop” as fresh, never-frozen premium sturgeon caviars. Customers looking for a firmer pearl and more pronounced pop may prefer one of our other caviar varieties.

To extend shelf life, keep caviar frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, store in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally between 28°F and 32°F. Unopened, the caviar can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. Once opened, consume within 2 to 3 days for optimal taste and texture.
