What does sturgeon taste like?

Mild and slightly sweet, with a firm, meaty texture that's often compared to swordfish. It grills well.

Is this the caviar fish?

Sturgeon is the same family of fish prized for caviar, but this product is the meat.

How should I cook it?

Grill, roast or cube it for skewers. Cook just until opaque to keep it moist.

How should I store it, and how long will it stay fresh?

Refrigerate it as soon as it arrives and cook it within 48 hours of delivery, or freeze it right away. See our Care & Prep guide for storage and thawing tips.

How do I know when it's done?

Cook until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F.

Can I get it portioned or vacuum sealed?

Where available, you can choose portion sizes and vacuum sealing before you add it to your box. Vacuum sealing is a flat $25 per order, and whole fish aren't eligible.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Special order items are seasonal and limited, and we source them to order, so the earliest available delivery date is usually about 48 hours later than for our regular fresh seafood. If you're ordering ahead for a holiday or event, just pick your date as usual. Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your order never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

Can I order this with other items? 

Yes, but we don't split shipments. Any order that includes a special order item ships complete once the specialty items reach our store. If you'd like your other items sooner, place them as a separate order.

How is it shipped?

Overnight only, by FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Ground Overnight depending on your location, since fresh seafood has a strict 48-hour safety window once it leaves our Seattle facility. Continental U.S. orders ship by FedEx Priority Overnight for a $48 flat rate. WA, OR, and ID customers get discounted UPS Ground Overnight rates starting at $10. Full shipping rates by region ->

Do you ship to my address? 

We ship to residential and business addresses across all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?

If your order arrives spoiled or you received the wrong product, contact us within 14 days of delivery for a refund or reshipment. We're not able to accept returns once an order has shipped, so if there's an issue, reach out right away. Full refunds & returns policy ->

Fresh Sturgeon

Fresh Sturgeon is known for its mild flavor and firm, meaty texture. Its substantial texture makes it a versatile fish that holds up especially well to grilling, roasting, baking, and pan-searing.

What Does Sturgeon Taste Like?

Sturgeon has a mild, clean flavor with firm, dense meat. Compared with more delicate, flaky fish, sturgeon has a heartier texture that makes it an excellent choice for seafood lovers looking for something a little different.

Its mild flavor pairs well with lemon, garlic, fresh herbs, butter, olive oil, marinades, and flavorful sauces.

How to Cook Sturgeon

Sturgeon can be grilled, baked, roasted, broiled, or pan-seared.

Its firm texture works particularly well on the grill or in a hot pan, where the outside can develop color while the fish remains moist inside. Sturgeon can also be marinated before cooking to add additional flavor.

So if you are wondering where you can buy Sturgeon, look no further, since Pure Fish Food Market offers Fresh Sturgeon as you have never tasted before.

How Much Sturgeon Should I Order?

For Sturgeon served as the main course, approximately 6–8 ounces per person is a good starting point.

The amount you'll need may vary depending on appetite, preparation method, and whether the fish is being served as part of a larger meal.
