Albany Beef NY Times 8-19-1881

Atlantic sturgeon was once so plentiful in the Hudson River that it was well known as “Albany beef.” This 1881article from the New York Times reprints an item from the Hudson Register on the supply of Albany beef in the river that summer.

“When it is well prepared and has not become stale it is a very nutritious and palatable edible.”

Yum.
