I've always wanted to fish for sturgeon. But, I'm even more interested in how they taste. I'm hoping they don't taste like chicken. What other types of fish do they resemble in flavor/texture? I've only had one type of fish that was smoked/salted. And that was blind robin way back in the day with my dad.
Texture is firm and meat flakes nicely. Very few bones . Very white meat. Tastes very similar to the smoked salmon but just not as sweet? If that makes sense. The salmon I think tastes like candy. Sturgeon is very close. I definitely prefer the filets when smoking just about any fish. I keep the skin on but carve out the rib bones , remove tail etc.....I do cut off each spiny bone on the outer skin for sturgeon but I’ve heard others don’t? I’ve tried both ways and prefer to remove them.
