Sturgeon Fish Fry Recipes

STURGEON "FISH FRY"

Steps:

• Cut your fish into desired pieces, and soak in milk for one hour. (In the refrigerator).
• Pat pieces dry and coat completely in Louisiana Fish Fry. Set aside.
• Heat your shortening to aprox. 375 degrees, and deep fry fish in batches. (Make sure they don't cook too fast) Always test your first piece to make sure they cook thorough. Remove and set on a platter of paper towels to drain.
• These keep warm for a few minutes, until you can serve them. Watch your pieces and cook them evenly. I always serve these with a high quality tartar sauce, or just make home-made.

STURGEON WITH MUSHROOM AND THYME REDUCTION

Steps:

• Heat the grill, (or use a grill pan) on high while you prepare the sturgeon.
• Remove the skin from the sturgeon and place in a large stainless steel bowl.
• Add the olive oil, garlic, course black pepper and salt.
• Mix the seasonings into the fish to coat.
• Prepare the mushroom sauce by heating a large sauté pan on high.
• Add the olive oil and add the sliced mushrooms and shallots just as the oil begins to smoke.
• Sauté the mushrooms and shallots for about 1 minute and add the whole butter followed by the fresh thyme and salt and pepper.
• Place the sturgeon on the grill and reduce the heat to a medium setting.
• Close the grill and leave the fish as is for 2 minutes.
• While the fish is cooking add both the stock and white wine to the mushroom mixture and continue to cook to reduce the liquid.
• Reduce by almost half.
• Flip the fish after two minutes of cooking and cook another minute or until the fish reaches an internal cooking temperature of 145 degrees.
• Remove the grilled fish and plate, top with the mushroom and shallot mixture and enjoy.
