Sturgeon

Product of: USA- California
Catch Method: Farm Raised
Sustainability: Best Choice

Prized for its superior flavor, Sturgeon is a long-lived prehistoric favorite that quickly became over fished and nearly impossible to obtain (and still is to this day.) Now farmed to perfection, the aquaculture industry has created an excellent alternative and lessened the impact on the threatened wild species. Our sturgeon is raised in the artisinal waters of northern California and rated as Best Choice from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program. Sturgeon has a delicate, mild flavor and a lean flesh that is firm and meaty. Grilling, roasting, sauteing, smoking or poaching are all great options for preparations, and marinades work extremely well for this fish!

Buyers Notes:

•Shad Roe is in season. The annual shad run marks the beginning of spring for many folks. According to local lore, as soon as the shadbush (Amelanchier arborea) blooms in early spring the shad are running upriver to spawn. The fishermen are waiting for them.
• Sea Scallop prices are increasing. New Quotas for 2020 start next month. The fishing grounds that are opening this year are expected to produce a lot of scallops, however larger sizes like U-10 and U-12 are not going to be plentiful due to these areas traditionally not producing many larger sizes. U-15, 10-20 and 40-50 sizes will come back down once fishing starts in April.
•Most of the Gulf of Mexico grouper fishery is closed from February first through March 31st. This takes place during the spawning season by design and has proven to be a successful program in terms of overall sustainability. Grouper will be available from other areas during this time period, but overall supply will be limited.
•Based on the continued mild winter, we are expecting an early start to the lake fish season this year. We are past the point where we need to worry about the usual annual issue with ice on the lake that would restrict fishing. The Canadian fishing fleet is already gearing up for the season. Supplies won’t be plentiful this year as quotas on yellow perch are expected to be cut this year and for a few years to come in order to balance things out in the lake. Walleye is no readily available and will continue to be a plentiful supply for the entire year.
