Sturgeon have a firm white flesh with more flavor than freshwater fish.
Rather than being eaten in fillets it's generally eaten as steaks. There's
a huge sport fishery and limited commercial fishery for white sturgeon here
on the north Pacific coast, especially in the Columbia River. A few years
back when Chris and Stephanie were visiting I took them to a cannery on the
coast, and they happened to be working up the day's sturgeon catch. There
was a 55-gallon bucket of sturgeon heads and I grabbed one and made it into
a sturgeon puppet, but Chris was not amused.
