S16 CAVIAR.jpg

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation makes caviar from paddlefish eggs and sells the product to support the state's paddlefish fishery. Paddlefish, or spoonbill, anglers on Grand Lake can take their fish to the Wildlife Department's processing station and have the fish cleaned for free in exchange for the eggs. The above photo of spoonbill caviar is an illustration and not the packaged product.
