SMOKED STURGEON
This is a dry cure approach to smoking fish, which I like a little better than the brine option: It seems to draw out excess moisture faster. The spices I use are what I like, but you can feel free to alter to your taste. Don't change the salt and sugar, though. If you can't use alcohol, skip that step and just dry the fish without the coating of booze. This method will work with any sort of fish you can cut into blocks: tuna, salmon, white seabass, big redfish or catfish, tilefish, swordfish, shark, marlin, albacore, etc.

Steps:
- Trim the sturgeon of any fat or dark meat. Cut the pieces into regular blocks, like rectangles. Mix the salt, sugar and spices together, then coat the fish with it. Put into a covered, non-reactive container (plastic, ceramic, stainless steel) and set in the fridge to cure for as many hours as each block of sturgeon weighs, i.e., if you cut 1 pound blocks, they should be salted for only about 1 hour.
- Remove the sturgeon from the cure and rinse. Pat dry with paper towels, then brush brandy or whisky all over the sturgeon. Set on a rack in the fridge uncovered until the next day.
- Smoke over very low heat -- about 160°F -- until it's smoked the way you like it. I go for 4 hours.
- Allow to cool fully before vacuum sealing and storing. It will keep for a week in the fridge or 6 months in the freezer if it has been vacuum sealed.

- Mix sugar and all dry ingredients in large microwavable bowl. Add Water and heat in microwave for 2-3 minutes only until sugar dissolves. The solution does not need to be hot, just lukewarm to allow the sugar to dissolve.
- Add fish to a large zip lock bag or a large enough vacuum bag to hold all the fish and liquid. Remove as much air from the bag as possible and seal. If using a vacuum sealer, ensure you seal with no Vacuum OFF.
- In the refrigerator brine for 8 hours if using whole fish (skin, bones) or 4-5 hours for filet's. If filet's are thicker than 1" brine for up to 8 hours.
7 BEST WAYS TO COOK STURGEON - RECIPES YOU MIGHT LOVE ...
From fishingweekendwarrior.com
- Baking. Baking is the first step in any meat recipe. Sturgeon meat tastes better when it is slow-cooked and baked for a longer period. Start by preheating the oven to 350 °F.
- Poaching. Poaching may be illegal in the wildlife, but not here in the kitchen! It is a slow and gentle method to cook delicate meat at a lower temperature without losing its moisture in the process.
- Steaming. Steaming is a classic recipe and one of the simplest methods of cooking sturgeon while delivering a mouth-watering dish on the plate. All you need is parchment paper or foil and seasoning ingredients of your choice.
- Broiling. Let’s turn up the heat with broiling! Broiling is a high-heat, robust cooking method best suited for dense meat. However, it is not recommended for thin and delicate fillets.
- Grilling. Grilling is the best outdoor cooking experience you can ever have. It is even more fun when sturgeon is on the menu. If you want to enjoy the natural texture and flavor of sturgeon, grilling is the best way to cook it.
- Pan Frying. Pan-frying is one of the most popular methods of cooking sturgeon. It preserves the natural flavor of the fish by preserving its moisture while giving it a crispy, crunchy layer.
- Smoking. Smoking is a technique of cooking meat to develop a distinct, mouth-watering flavor in a dish that is not possible with any other way of cooking.
