What is Sturgeon?
Sturgeon is a large, ancient fish species that belongs to the family Acipenseridae. These fish are primarily found in subtropical, temperate, and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes, and coastlines of Eurasia and North America. Sturgeon are well-known for their roe, which is processed into caviar, a luxury food item. The fish itself is also consumed in various culinary traditions around the world. Sturgeon can grow to considerable sizes and have a prehistoric appearance, featuring bony plates along their bodies instead of scales.
