Overview

Petrusco's American paddlefish (spoonbill) caviar is wild caught from the Ohio River and sold in a 500g tin, described by the listing as mild, buttery and earthy in flavor.

Paddlefish roe is a domestic alternative to imported sturgeon caviar, and the 500g size here is a catering-scale format rather than a tasting tin.

Who it's for

Performance notes

Paddlefish, also called spoonbill, produces roe with a softer, less briny character than sturgeon, which lines up with the mild, buttery, earthy description given here. Sourcing from the Ohio River keeps it a domestic wild catch rather than an import, and the 500g size is built for volume use rather than a single tasting.
