It's Sturgeon Time

Mark catches a 65 inch Sturgeon
in San Francisco Bay



Don went fishing today with his friend Mark and Doug. Don hasn't caught a sturgeon for about 10 years. It's not easy to do. He was thrilled (in fact they all were) to have a sturgeon caught on his boat. They estimated the weight to be around 80 lbs. We had some for dinner. It is a wonderful fish to eat. You just marinade it and grill it. It's very dense, so it takes a while to cook.
Doug took these great pictures. Thank goodness he was on the trip or there would not have been any pictures. Nice job Mark!

I told Chris about this last night and he was reminiscing about the time you made battered and fried sturgeon nuggets. "they were soooo good" :)

that is a very creative dish to make with sturgeon - variation on the micky d's classic :)
