Foraging for fiddleheads is a favorite spring activity of mine. Fiddleheads are the young coiled fronds of the ostrich fern. Nearly all ferns have fiddleheads, but the ostrich fern are the edible tasty ones.

Each spring, not long after the snow melts, they start emerging. You can find them on the banks of rivers, streams, and brooks throughout the northeastern United States. Depending on where you live, they can start emerging in mid April, May, and early June.

They are usually available for about three weeks and where I live, the pickin usually starts during the first or second week of April. Just before the bugs in the woods are a problem. The fronds of the fiddlehead push their way up through the forest floor, uncurling slowly. It's at this moment, just before they uncurl that it’s time to harvest them.

Ostrich fern fiddleheads, are about an inch in diameter, they can be identified by the brown papery scale-like covering on the uncoiled fern, and the deep ”U”-shaped groove on the inside of the fern stem.

To prep the fiddleheads, any leftover “silk” should be removed. The silk is a thin, brown, papery covering that resembles a peanut casing. The best way I have found to do this is place a couple dozen at a time in a brown paper bag and shake them vigorously. Next step is to rub the remaining brown casing off with your fingers in a bath of cold ice water. If needed, drain the water and then rinse them again in a bowl of cold water, gently agitating them with your fingers and pouring off the water until it is free of particles. Drain well and pat dry.

It is recommended that you cook them for at least 10 and up to 15 minutes before you eat them. Fiddlehead ferns contain a toxin that causes stomach pain in humans when ingested. The toxin is destroyed by the heat generated during the cooking process.

These springtime delicacies have a taste reminiscent of asparagus. If you cook the fiddlehead like an asparagus you really can’t go wrong. Their flavor is mild, they are pleasantly crunchy. They can be cooked in many different ways, from steamed, to boiled, or dipped in beer batter and fried. I like them sautéed with some garlic and lemon juice in olive oil and butter, lightly sprinkled with salt and pepper.

There are many recipes to be found on the internet so when you pick a bunch of them, just give them a good wash and they will freeze very well.

Good Diggin

Brownville's Food Pantry For Deer, Live Feed
The Brownville Food Pantry For Deer feeds approximately 400 pounds per day of native oats (local) to help sustain the white-tailed deer population through rough winters here in central Maine. Feeding happens daily around 09: 00 (9 AM) Eastern Standard Time starting December 16 and continues to the beginning of April. These are wild deer and this is not a deer farm. Some of the deer have been coming for more than 10 years including a piebald deer with more white markings than a normal white-tailed deer. At times there are 100 to 200 deer at the pantry. Wild turkeys also come and eat the native oats along side the deer. At times you may see up to 100 wild turkeys at once.

You want to check the live feeds in the late afternoon to see how many are coming over for diner. To choose from multiple deer cameras click here: https://www.youtube.com/brownvillesfo...
