American Hackleback

Hackleback, one of America's smallest sturgeon fish varieties is mostly found in major river systems, most notably the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. It generally weighs around 40-50 pounds and has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Prized for its approachable price and distinctive character, American Hackleback caviar features small to medium-sized pearls with a striking glossy finish in deep jet-black or rich dark brown shades. The flavor stands out with gentle earthy nutty notes, a whisper of natural sweetness, and subtle briny oceanic accents. On the palate, it delivers a pleasing burst followed by a creamy, refined smoothness. This harmonious blend of bold yet elegant tastes and textures makes Hackleback caviar a favorite among gourmet enthusiasts, capturing the pure, wild spirit of North America's freshwater heritage.
