The most valuable fish in terms of taste – sturgeon is suitable for the most solemn presentation. The fish is so self-sufficient that it does not require special additives and marinades, only a simple set of spices and vegetable oil for frying. Sturgeon cutting has some features:
- The carcass is most often covered with mucus, which is washed off with hot water.
- The skin of the sturgeon is hard, similar to sandpaper. When cutting, use gloves so as not to cut yourself.
- On the skin are bony shields “bugs”, which must be removed.
- Most often, sturgeon is sold gutted, but if you bought a whole sturgeon, caviar inside is the most expensive product in the world.
- The sturgeon has a cartilaginous spine, with a chord inside (squeal), which should be removed.
