Bowfin

Bowfin caviar has a fresh flavor with a distinct ocean taste. Its small, jet black pearls stand out when using in recipes for special occasions. The grains are small and pearly of brownish to jet-black color with glossy and firm eggshell. The Bowfin Black Caviar has a distinctive mildly tangy flavor.

Bowfin does not belong to the Sturgeon family but is a magnificent and inexpensive substitute for sturgeon caviar.

This  American black caviar is harvested from American Bowfin a bony fish from southern US backwaters. Due to its origin, the Bowfin Caviar is widely used in the original Cajun cuisine and is well known as Choupique caviar.

• When eating Caviar by itself, taste with the tongue and avoiding chewing to avoide loss of flavor.
• Vodka is a traditional Russian pairing and accompanies caviar perfectly. The ice cold, crisp, clean flavor of vodka will bring out a distinguished taste of caviar without overpowering.
• Bubbles & saltiness of caviar go hand in hand. If caviar is being served as part of a recipe that involves cream or butter, champagne will help clean the palette and refresh the dish. Select a classic style – vintage if possible– and avoid ‘zero dosage’ varieties, which can be too dry and acidic. Rosé complements caviar well too.
