Trout Caviar:

The word “caviar” conjures images of opulent luxury and the crashing waves of the Caspian Sea — not the lakes and streams of Wisconsin. Yet in the fall, Wisconsin waters yield the jewel-like egg sacs of freshwater caviar. Commentator Brett Laidlaw shares the story of his favorite local delicacy.

Brett Laidlaw is the author of Trout Caviar: Recipes from a Northern Forager as well as the Trout Caviar blog. He and his wife life divide their time between St. Paul and an off-the-grid cabin on 20 acres in northern Dunn County.
