No ethical way to purchase an animal’s life for use in food.

Oh okay, so lemmy is doing sturgeon this week. Okay.

I’m pretty sure we farm sturgeon here in Vietnam. Mostly for the caviar, but I do see the live fish for sale in the supermarket pretty often.

I don’t know what your definition of ethics or culinary excellence are exactly, but hope maybe the above will be useful to you somehow.

There’s a podcast called Fish Nerds that began long ago, more than ten years, now. It all started with a couple guys that decided to catch and eat every legal fish in New Hampshire. About 48 species, if I remember correctly. The host, Clay Groves, did catch and eat a sturgeon, although I’m not sure if it was in the original 48 fish or something he did later on, it’s been a lot of years. But, the guy is absolutely helpful to the point of obsession, I believe. I think if you reached out to him, pretty sure it’s fishnerds@gmail but, check that before writing, I could be wrong on the address, he’d be overjoyed to give you the best opinion I think you could get on this question. And it’s a damn good podcast, too.

I do a lot of fishing for food, myself, so I’m really interested in what a sturgeon stroganoff would be like! Sounds fuckin wonderful to me!

Shoot the guy an email, or email it as a question to the pod, I think it would be a great mailbag question on a really interesting subject. And you’d be asking a guy that’s okay as to eating fish. And the most notable fish eater and sustainability freak I can think of.

They sold it at my uni, sales went to the surgeon research department.
