Sturgeon Caviar

Wisconsin Foodie • Season 11 • Episode 4

About this episode

Did you know that Sturgeon Caviar is one of the most sought after luxury food items in the world? We visit Fond du Lac, WI during sturgeon spearing season to see if we can get our hands on some caviar for ourselves. What makes this product so treasured is that the sale of it is illegal in Wisconsin and only a handful of people know how to take the Sturgeon eggs and turn them into caviar. We meet up with the owner of Wendt’s on the Lake Shawn Wendt as he tours us around and introduces us to Zach and Norb, a team of Caviar makers in Fond du Lac, maybe the last of their kind. Luke also prepares classic Wisconsin Deviled Eggs utilizing Sturgeon Caviar.
