Spruce Tips are made from the tender new shoots of the eastern white spruce. Fresh, they have a lemon-like flavour and will keep for months in the fridge. They are delicious used like capers in fish dishes, chopped fine into a sauce or marinade or used sparingly in salads or a salad dressing. Spruce tips are best used as a stuffing for fresh water fish such as trout. They are also the essential ingredient in the Canadian martini.
