Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Fiddleheads are the early growth of the fiddlehead fern, before it unfurls.They look just like the tuing keys of a violin. They grow wild here in Alaska. Katie shalomlmr <shalomlmr wrote: sounds delish???---if only I knew what a fiddlehead is--never heard of them.
