Paddlefish. They are actually reintroducing them to Lake Erie. Ancient, cartilaginous, filter feeder. Usually, they are snagged. I think you can smoke them and eat them. Not sure if the roe is good for caviar, or not.
Yes, the roe makes fantastic caviar. The Russian Mob poaches them out of the lakes along the OK/AR line and sells it as Beluga Sturgeon Caviar.
I've eaten paddlefish caviar twice and both times absolutely loved it.
