Paddlefish caviar is harvested from the American paddlefish or spoonbill and resembles the Sevruga Sturgeon grade of the Caspian Sea, although the size of the roe can be slightly smaller. This roe can range in color from dark gray to black. Paddlefish caviar offers the consumer genuine caviar at an affordable price - less than half the price of the equivalent imported grade. Our Paddlefish Caviar is the finalist in the 2007 European Seafood Exposition.
For export of sturgeon caviar and paddlefish caviar CITES permit is required. We are happy to assist you in obtaining the permit.
