A friend of mine brought me some of these on Thursday. I’ve read that they’re only good 5 days post picking, so I hope they’ll be okay still.

Here on Maui the locals call these pohole (po-ho-lay), and the other Hawaiian name is ho’i'o (ho-ee-o).

They grow year round here. A restaurant I frequent has a delicious pohole fern salad which I get a taro burger on top of. Yum!

Hi! I love this recipe and photos – I included the photo and a link to my blog in this recent post: http://messy-bessie.com/2010/05/inspiration-from-the-mother-fiddlehead/

Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I just saw your post and even though it’s kind of old I want to warn your readers that while tasty, fiddleheads MUST be cooked for at least 10 minutes or they might risk food poisoning. Also, depending on where you live, different varieties of fiddleheads have proven to be carcinogenic. Please find these things out before going out and harvesting them. Also, please, please be cautious not to over-harvest wild plants.

Do you ever add vinegar to your fiddleheads? An old friend suggested I make them with butter, vinegar, S&P and that’s it. I like your idea of the garlic. I had a friend send me fiddleheads from MA and they arrived today! I’m going to do them with butter, olive oil (small but equal proportions), garlic, S&P and apple cider vinegar. Can’t wait!

I want to know when fiddleheads peak season and available time accurs in California.

I was so excited because I thought I had discovered fiddlehead ferns on our family hike this afternoon. I came here immediately to compare them, and sadly, I’m pretty sure they’re not fiddleheads.

It was a good try, anyways. Now you’ve got me on the lookout for some!

Fiddlehead ferns are a new england vegetable that tell us “spring is here”. I just had a batch last night for dinner. Delicious.
A lot of people don’t know about them because of the shortness of the window of eatablity and the fact that they only grow in certain places of the country.

Kimi,
What farmer’s market do you go to?
