They do taste a bit like asparagus. If you like asparagus who will
likely enjoy fiddle heads. If you don't like asparagus you should
probably not bother. I am in a bit of a bind. I like both. Both come
out at the same time of the year. They taste a lot alike.Fiddleheads
cost at least twice as much per pound as asparagus and they are dense
little things, so a couple small servings of them will cost more than a
pound of asparagus. Asparagus wins on price.
