Sturgeon

This firm-fleshed white fish is prized for its caviar, but there's no need to shell out for the eggy delicacy if you want to sample a sturgeon. The fillets are also quite delicious with dense, steak-like meat that holds up well on a grill or in a smoker. Since many species of wild sturgeon are endangered, look for sustainably farmed fish before you buy. Food & Wine's guide includes delicious recipes to help you appreciate sturgeon.
