How to cook sturgeon in the oven
The luxurious sturgeon baked in the oven is not quickly prepared for the New Year's table. You will, of course, have to tinker. But the result definitely deserves it, and you definitely won’t regret the time spent. After all, sturgeon turns out to be tender, aromatic, juicy, and extremely tasty. Despite the fact that all fish are good and healthy in some way, it was not without reason that this particular variety often ended up on the imperial and royal menus. Why not feel like a real king on this holiday?
- So, if you decide to make the whole sturgeon in the oven, first of all deal with the fish itself. The carcass will need to be thoroughly rinsed by placing it directly in the sink. Let running water wash away everything unnecessary.
On a note! When cutting this fish, you should definitely use gloves to avoid injuring your hands.
- Then the sturgeon will need to be transferred to a cutting surface. The carcass will need to be cleaned of scales. It is recommended to do this in the direction opposite to the location of the scales. The knife should be moved from the tail to the head of the fish. You will also need to be sure to cut the sturgeon’s belly and remove all the giblets from the inside of the carcass. The peritoneum itself will need to be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed several times. It is very important to do this! Otherwise, the fish flesh may become very bitter. The gills should also be removed.
- Next, you must definitely remove the vizig, which is located in the ridge. If this is not done, then during the baking process the sturgeon will simply “tear”, which will ruin the appearance of the fish. To do this, you will definitely need to cut the head a little.
- Then you will need to cut the carcass near the tail. In this case, a light flagellum will be visible. This is viziga. You just need to pull it out completely. It is very important to do this whole without breaking it.
- The next stage of preparation is preparing the sturgeon itself. It is best to twist the carcass into a ring and cut into portions. The top of the fish should be salted to taste and seasoned with spices. It is also very important to sprinkle sturgeon with lemon juice before baking in the oven. This will give the fish pulp a particularly rich taste and expressiveness. Even at this stage, the carcass must be poured with olive oil.
Note! It is optimal to sprinkle the sturgeon with black pepper and ground nutmeg.
- Next you will need to take a baking sheet. Foil is laid out on it, which is best generously greased with butter - this will definitely not spoil the taste of sturgeon baked in the oven. Using foil you need to adjust the shape of the fish preparation. It is also recommended to cover each cut piece of fish with food foil. The top of the workpiece must also be covered with it, after which the sturgeon is baked in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of 220 degrees. After the specified amount of time, the foil is opened slightly and the fish is placed in the hot oven for another 10 minutes.
- The most interesting thing remains - the process of decorating the finished dish. It is recommended to place sturgeon on lettuce leaves. On top it can be decorated with berries and fruit slices. Vegetables, for example, carved figurines from boiled carrots. You can also decorate the fish with a mayonnaise mesh.
As you can see, making sturgeon in the oven for the holiday is not so difficult.

Sturgeon fish is considered one of the most ancient fish on earth. There is confirmed evidence of the existence of sturgeon back in the time of dinosaurs. Today, fish is considered one of the most delicious delicacies on the table.
IN Ancient Rus' sturgeon was called red fish, although its meat is completely white. And the secret of this name is that the word “red” was not used to indicate the color of the fish. The sturgeon received the well-deserved adjective “red” for its excellent taste. Let's remember together: “red maiden”, “red sun” and the like, so the sturgeon deservedly received the award of being called red. Unfortunately, due to poor commercial fishing, today sturgeon is considered a rather rare fish and quite expensive. But if you have already had the opportunity to cook and pamper your guests with the taste of magnificent fish, do not deny yourself this.
The average length of a sturgeon is between 1.5-2 meters; there are also giants over 3 meters. Nowadays, artificially grown live sturgeon with a length of 45-50 cm and slightly higher is very often on sale; this length is excellent for preparing a whole fish carcass.
Initially, before cooking, you need to approach the choice of the fish itself. Experts recommend buying fresh sturgeon; after all, frozen fish has a slightly different taste. In extreme cases, buy chilled sturgeon. And here, when purchasing, be careful, do not forget to ask the seller about the availability of a certificate for the fish and check the timing of its availability for sale.
When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the color of the fish’s gills - in fresh fish they are dark in color with a brownish tint. If greenery appears, and there are strange white or reddish-tinged spots on the carcass, then this means only one thing: too long and possibly improper storage with violation of the temperature regime. Don’t be lazy and carefully inspect the fish so as not to completely ruin your mood with an unsuccessful purchase.
Before you start cooking, the fish, of course, needs to be cleaned. The sturgeon has fairly hard scales, they can even be compared to a shell. But not everything is so dramatic; after you have poured boiling water over the sturgeon, you can deal with the hard scales with an ordinary knife. This type of fish has one more additional part that needs to be removed. This is a dense cord that runs along the ridge, or otherwise called a vizig. To pull it out, you need to make a circular cut at the base of the tail, and holding the fish vertically, pull the skewer down. And now, after all the procedures carried out, we can proceed directly to cooking.
You can prepare many different dishes from sturgeon. This includes everyone’s favorite fish soup and all kinds of fish soups. Shish kebab and grilling. Sturgeon can also be fried, baked and smoked. The fish can be stuffed and made into aspic. All famous fish dishes made from sturgeon turn out just great. An interesting feature is that sturgeon meat practically does not lose weight during heat treatment, that is, it does not “cook”. Some people compare sturgeon meat to pork, and the reason is the content of glutamic acid, which is contained in this tasty fish.
The most common recipe for preparing sturgeon is boiled sturgeon. This does not require much skill, and the result is an excellent dietary dish. The fish can be cooked whole or pre-cut. Take a pan of the required volume, pour in enough water to cover the entire fish. To boil water. Carefully place the sturgeon in boiling water. Cook for about 10 minutes. Next, add 2-3 leaves of bay leaf, add allspice and salt to taste. Cook for about 10 more minutes and turn off. All is ready. It is better to try sturgeon and treat your friends when the fish is cold. It is advisable to cool it in the same water where it was boiled. Eating a piece of tasty boiled fish and washing it down with aromatic, rich broth will be beneficial for everyone. As for an elderly person, so for a child.

With constant and moderate consumption of sturgeon, you can regulate blood pressure and metabolic processes in your body. Sturgeon even has a beneficial effect on skin renewal.
Sturgeon kebabs are very tasty. When preparing them no need use vinegar or mayonnaise as ingredients for the marinade. They will ruin the flavor of this delicious fish. For marinade, it is best to use dry white wine. For a fish weighing 1 kg, you will need 1 glass of wine, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. You can also add rings cut into the marinade. onion, bell peppers or tomatoes. Marinate for 2 hours.

Now let's start pouring: take a spoonful of flour and pour it into a frying pan (you can also fry the sturgeon there), add 150-200 g of fish broth, stir and bring to a boil. Then you need to remove everything from the heat, add pepper, salt, 100-120 g of sour cream. We made a delicious sour cream sauce.
