|keywords=Stardew Valley Wiki, Stardew Valley, Sturgeon, gift |site_name=Stardew Valley Wiki |type=article |title=Sturgeon - Stardew Valley Wiki }} The Sturgeon is a fish that can be caught in the mountain lake during the Summer and Winter. It is least common during rainy winter days (only possible by using a Rain Totem) and most common on rainy summer days, comprising from 11% to 16% of all items caught. It is most likely to be caught when casting farther from shore.[1]
Sturgeon may also randomly appear in Krobus' shop on Wednesdays.
Sturgeon may be placed in a Fish Pond to produce Roe, which can be placed in a Preserves Jar to make Caviar.
