Arctic Char packs the fat of larger Salmodaie into its smaller frame. Rich and creamy doesn't even scratch the surface of this incredible species. Typical market size fall between 2 and 8 lbs. A light orange flesh cooks to a brilliant pink and flakes beautifuly. The abundant fat keeps the flesh moist against high heat cooking methods, and is very forgiving to slight overcooking. Arctic Char bridges the familiarity of Salmon with the uniqueness all its own.
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.
