Fiddleheads have very high levels of carcinogens. I wouldn’t eat them, and I eat barbecued meat from right over the coals. There’s a reason ferns have survived pretty much unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.
When I lived in Maine, every time I ventured more than a few yards outside the college area of our college town, I saw signs for Fiddleheads For Sale.
That could explain a lot about Maine-iacs.

Fiddleheads are possibly edible, if it’s the right kind of fern. When I lived in the Russian Far East, locals would go out gathering them to cook.
