They are a little more common here now than they used to be. My wife had
told me there is a fiddlehead farm in Port Colborne. I did an online
search and found that this is the only fiddlehead farm in North America.
Well, according to an 18 year old news article, it was the only one.
They used to be picked in the wild in New Brunswick. They were seldom
available and were expensive.  This week's batch was quite cheap... for
fiddleheads.

I used to have issues with the price. IMO, they had a taste similar to
asparagus. They are available at the same time. It was hard to spend a
lot more for fiddleheads when I would get the flavour fix from asparagus
for a fraction of the price. I usually opted for the much cheaper
asparagus.

I don't recall ever seeing frozen fiddleheads. They have always been a
seasonal thing for us.

Those ferns don't have much taste but if I see those at the farmer's
market, I'll get some. The ones here are mostly foraged in the Forrest.
They are quite delicate things.
