Description

The recipe won't take much time. However, to get delicious sturgeon, you'll need plenty of time, so be prepared! I used one fish weighing 3.5 kg to make smoked sturgeon. However, during cooking the weight will significantly decrease, leaving about 1 kg of finished product, so take spices according to 1 kg. Check out the recipe with photos. Serve hot.
