Arguably North America’s tastiest contribution to the world of caviar, the American Hackleback Sturgeon provides a lovely roe that is small and firm, offering a delightful ‘pop’ on the tongue and a burst of pronounced nutty taste. With all the characteristics and notes of flavor as wild-caught Russian sturgeon, those who love classic caviars are sure to enjoy this American Hackleback from Emperior.
Indigenous to the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the American Hackleback travels under many aliases. Most popularly known as the Hackleback, you’ll also hear this fish called a Shovelnose or a Switchtail. All three of its names, obviously taken from this curious fish’s pronounced features. Physically small and quick to mature, compared to its gargantuan cousins, the Hackleback is the obvious answer to those looking for a legal, sustainable, and delicious caviar. Its prominent flavor and striking black eggs marked by flecks of gold and emerald green secure this delicious roe as a favorite among all caviar lovers and the most popular domestic sturgeon on the market.
