Smoked Sturgeon

Sturgeon meat has been considered one of the most tasty fish for a lot longer than its reknowned caviar. Most of the countries which have a tradition of preparing caviar, also enjoy sturgeon meat.

The most commonly available form, for those who have no access to fresh sturgeon, is smoked sturgeon. Virtually all the sturgeon species which produce caviar are also considered valuable for their meat. In fact the small river sturgeon known as the Sterlet is prized for its flesh more than its eggs.
