Step 1
Gut the sterlet and remove its gills, as they can cause bitterness. Now heat water in a pot, and when it boils, pour the boiling water over the fish from all sides. Scrape off the small scales with a knife, and lift and remove the larger scales, then thoroughly rinse the sterlet under cold water.

Rub the fish with salt and pepper and let it sit for a few minutes. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the sterlet on it. Cut the potatoes into wedges and arrange them around the fish, then season with salt. Peel the onions and cut each bulb into 4 pieces, placing them on the baking sheet.
