Title: Favorite Sturgeon Recipes
Post by: Wea300mag on June 29, 2009, 10:53:33 PM: Please post your favorite sturgeon recipes here. I met a guy who insisted that the best way was to boil it in 7-up until it floats and then dip in butter, he said it tasted like lobster??? I'm going to try it.

Cut sturgeon into 1/4" thick slices.Drop in boiling water till it floats.About a minute.
Then dip in garlic butter.

Place Filet on top pf aluminum foil
cover with miracle whip, lemon pepper, johnny's seasoning salt, green onion, slices of lemon
Pinch foil at the top so partially covered and traps juices in
barbecue until not quite done
being careful with sturgeon not to over cook. Sturgeon can get tough as it is easy to over cook.
Best when cooked to a few minutes from done
Cooking time can vary dramatically based on the size and thickness of filet, so just keep an eye on it.

I'm going to give deep frying a shot next. I've already had some smoked and really liked it. So far I rank the prep methods as follows:
1) Bacon wrapped (winner by far)
2) Smoked
3) Grilled
4) Boiled in 7-up (poor man's lobster)

Post by: MuleySniper on July 10, 2009, 07:01:05 PM: I wasn't a big fan of the poor mans lobster. I ended up cubing it, battering, then into some oil. It was pretty good. Not a huge fan of the texture compared to other white fish though. I think I will try smoking the remainder of the sturg I have left. I had canned stug a long time ago and it was pretty good too.
