This American classic has earned the respect of many American & European chefs world wide. Paddlefish, also known as Spoonbill has a bold flavor with a natural pearl gray color. The eggs are firm offering a burst of flavor when pressed against the palate of your mouth..
Paddlefish are large, reaching lengths of approx. 7' , weighing close to 200 pounds and living up to 30 years. They are cought by snag fishing during spawning in April and June, when they congregate below obstructions (dams) and on gravel shoals. Unfortunatly Paddlefish have declined recently due to pollution, channelization, dams and intensive fishing where legal.
