American Bowfin Caviar
Bowfin will be unavailable for the foreseeable future. We recommend Hackleback roe as an alternative. Taste: mild Color: jet black to brown Pearl Size: small Texture: firm Country of Origin: Louisiana, United States Species: (Amia calva) Bowfin Hailing from Louisiana, the indigenous bowfin is known as “Choupique” and has been popular in Cajun cooking since the first settlers arrived. It is sometimes called cajun caviar. Though not a sturgeon, this ancient freshwater Bowfin species produces a robust and distinct roe that has gained popularity in American caviar circles due to its affordable price and high quality. Bowfin Caviar is wonderful as a garnish, appetizer, or even in baked preparations where the roe turns to a red color once cooked.
