Smoked Sturgeon
 

99 Ranch not far from here has live, farmed sturgeon, something like
$4/lb. Has anyone every smoked one?

I'll give it try with regular hot-smoking technique and see how it
turns out. I might even try cold smoking, with a hotplate in the
bottom of the Kamado.

Louis, I wrote a reply to your post yesterday, and it died somewhere in the
internet.

My brother caught a sturgeon when I was a kid. My Dad had it cold
smoked at a local Icelandic place and it came out just as good as
salmon.

--Bought some at a roadside stand in the Florida Keys in about '59-'60.
Possibly the best smoked fish I ever et. Cold smoked it was. Never had any
since. They were still catching them in some of Florida's rivers back then.
They are making a slow comeback now.
Next best all time smoked fish is mullet. Hot smoked.

I'm partial to hot smoked bluefish, myself. I think the real answer is
"smokem if you gottem":-)
