Step 1
First, we need to gut the fish and cut off the head and tail. Heat water in a pot and pour boiling water over the fish, which will allow us to easily remove the scales. Now, use a knife to scrape off the small scales and pull off the larger ones. Once the sterlet is cleaned, rinse it under cold water and cut it into fairly large portion-sized pieces.

Step 2
Place the fish in a pot, add thyme and rosemary, sliced lemon, and a small piece of butter. Now pour champagne over the sterlet until it covers the fish halfway. Cover the pot with a lid and place over heat.

Step 3
When the liquid in the pot comes to a boil, the sterlet should be cooked for another 15-20 minutes. That's such a simple, yet interesting recipe.
