American White Sturgeon

Friday, August 21st, 2009

We just started working with Clean Fish Alliance recently at VOLT. They introduced us to some great product that we can rely on regular supply and also we can trust that it is farmed and or caught using sustainable methods. Our relationship opened the door for us to start using Nunavut Arctic Char as well. That fish is wild caught only during summer months during a 15-18 week period, depending on weather and quotas. The sturgeon is currently a part of our 6 course Kitchen Menu.

American White Sturgeon
Latin: Acipenser transmontanus
French:
Esturgeon
Availability: Year round

Thirty years ago, the founders of this farm recognized a problem — the world demanded sturgeon and wild stocks were paying the price. Their solution? These pioneers built a farm that cultivates sturgeon with respect for the environment and for the revered fish they raise. Their diligent work has paid off.
American White Sturgeon is a high quality, incredibly delicious fish you can enjoy year round.
