Bowfin Caviar

This native American black caviar is harvested from American Bowfin a bony fish from southern US backwaters. It doesn't belong to the Sturgeon family, though Bowfish is more ancient. Due to its area, the Bowfin Caviar is widely used in the original Cajun cuisine and is well known as Choupique caviar. The grains are small in size and pearly of brownish to jet-black color with glossy eggshells. The Bowfin Black Caviar is getting more popular for its distinctive mildly tangy flavor. As it is similar in size and appearance to Sturgeon Caviar it can be used as its affordable substitute, especially for cooked dishes.

Naturally Kosher: Bowfin caviar is the only naturally kosher variety of caviar, coming from Bowfin (Amia calva) fish that is generally considered kosher. Unlike traditional sturgeon caviar, which is not kosher, Bowfin roe offers a similar look and texture while meeting kosher requirements.
