Fresh-Packed Wild Hackleback Caviar

Also known as shovelhead sturgeon caviar, American hackleback caviar is the only wild sturgeon caught in the US – and also happens to be the smallest freshwater sturgeon species native to North America. They possess a striking jet black hue, which you’ll find similar to Beluga sturgeon caviar. But their flavor is the real stand-out – these small yet firm roe offer a clean, fresh flavor with a hint of subtle nuttiness.

Shovelhead caviar, also known as hackleback, features a smooth and fresh flavor. It’s loved by caviar novices and connoisseurs alike for its burst of buttery flavors and subtle nuttiness that pairs well with point toasts, caviar blinis, or a quality icy cold vodka.
If left unopened, your caviar will remain fresh for approximately two to three weeks unopened with proper and constant refrigeration. Opened caviar should be consumed within two to three days with constant refrigeration for optimal freshness and taste. Store caviar in the coolest part of your refrigerator (typically the bottom shelf in the back) to preserve quality.
It depends on the occasion! A 1 oz. unit would be the perfect size to treat yourself to the taste of luxury, while 2 oz. would suit a party of two. If you’re hosting a small gathering, we recommend you purchase around 1 to 2 oz. per person.
