Carved Sturgeon Photo Opportunity
There has been a saddle on the sturgeon for many years. It's fun for the kids to sit on even though it doesn't move. The little shop serves all kinds of different meats, including frog legs and gator.
[Russ & Annette, 09/29/2015]This sturgeon is in the yard of a very neat and eclectic little store full of the oddest fishing antiques.

The carved sturgeon, plus great signs, and inside we enjoyed cheddar and summer sausage.

Tons of cool stuff to see outside. If you are looking for an chance to get your picture taken on the back of a giant sturgeon, this is the place for you.
[B.H. Dolmage, 11/10/2010]The giant carved sturgeon, with saddle, sits out in front of the Valley Fish and Cheese at 304 South Prairie Street. The store alone is worth a visit with an excellent selection of Wisconsin cheeses and smoked fish, caught -- we were told -- mostly by the owner.
A picture of yourself sitting in the saddle atop the sturgeon is a wonderful souvenir of a road trip through southern Wisconsin.
