Cuisine & Edibility
European Sturgeon
Critically Endangered — consumption is illegal throughout its range. Historically prized for its delicate flesh and black caviar; now one of the world's most threatened fish species.
Zander
Lean, firm white flesh with a delicate, mild flavor and nearly no fat; boneless fillets are easy to work with. The most prized freshwater eating fish in Central and Eastern Europe.
Species Overview
European Sturgeon
The European sturgeon is a critically endangered anadromous fish that can live over 100 years. Once abundant in European rivers, it is now restricted to a small population in the Gironde estuary. Its eggs are harvested as beluga-grade caviar.
Zander
The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
