Meaty, Moist, Creamy
The lean, boneless, firm flesh of the Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) has a delicate, mild flavor and is an excellent source of Omega 3s. It can be grilled, sautéed, baked, barbecued, poached or fried. It stands up to the boldest of preparations and is almost impossible to over-cook. Sturgeon should rest for 24 – 48 hours after harvest. This species of sturgeon produces the coveted Ossetra caviar. Atlantic and Siberian sturgeon also are available on a limited basis.
Succulent, Sweet, Tender
Due to their preference for more brackish, low salinity waters, White Shrimp are sweet and tender -- the preferred choice of shrimp boat captains and local coastal residents.
Ocean Flavor
Redfish is a phenomenal Center of the Plate species. The Flesh has large loose flakes that are packed with moisture and a clean ocean flavor. The Skin crisps wonderfully and has a "Fish Bacon" appeal. The Redfish has as many culinary application as the imagination will allow. The fish is very forgiving to high heat applications and "Green" Line Chefs. This is a very recognized "Blackened" Species. Thanks Chef Prudhomme.
