Also known as the White Sturgeon, the Columbia River Sturgeon falls into the category one of the oldest families of boney fish in existence. White Sturgeon can live to be over 100 years old and grow up to 15 feet in length making them the largest freshwater fish in North America.
Wild Sturgeon fishing seasons, regulations, and catch methods are highly regulated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Our fishermen catch their fish downstream from the Bonneville Dam ensuring they’re not land-locked allowing them to retain the full health and vitaility of their anadromous nature.
Placing our continued focus on sustainable products, Foods In Season works with seafoodwatch.com to validate the sustainability of every fish we sell. Wild Sturgeon can be legally harvested between 43-54 inches in length and range between 20-40 lbs. Considering the most flavorful meat comes from Sturgeon ranging from 3-6 feet you can rest assured you will receive your fish within optimal range to achieve the most tender meat and full bodied taste possible.
Since Foods In Season buys their Wild Sturgeon directly from the fishermen, butchers and ships your fish all in the same day, you’re guaranteed to receive the absolute freshest product available.
Fresh Wild Sturgeon yeilds a firm, dense meat which prevents it from flaking apart like other fish. The lack of bones tends to make it much easier to prepare and is often smoked, grilled, quickly fried or sauteed.
