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.
