A fiddlehead is the early stage of an ostrich fern. A delicacy to many, an unknown to most. The plant that looks like the head of a fiddle grows in wet, moise areas along Maine waterways as a rule. Learn everything you wanted to know about fiddleheads. Fun to clean, steamed and with a little vinegar added eat! Have to fill your bag along the river and stream beds quickly as the little Maine black fly comes out this time of year too! The black flies don't like fiddleheads but your neck and arms look pretty good to their air force when on maneuvers. Learn more...everything about the Maine fiddlehead here! 
You know spring is in Maine when the canoes are everywhere on top of pickups and paddlers enjoy swollen rivers in yearly races. Little league tryouts are over, teams begin to play this week in Houlton Maine. And fiddleheads are another part of Maine culture.
