Real caviar from the Sauerland – is that available? On the Fischgut Primus in Iserlohn you can experience the way from rearing the valuable sturgeon to caviar production for yourself. Take a look behind the scenes of an exceptional fish farm, in which the famous Japanese Koi carp is bred in addition to the sturgeon, which is probably unique in Europe in this size.

The Primus family’s fish farm is all about small and, above all, very large fish. The world’s largest freshwater fish and oldest surviving vertebrate from the age of the dinosaurs, the sturgeon grows up to 9 metres long and weighs up to a ton. His favorite occupation is resting, eating and growing. The Fischgut offers all this to young and old visitors. Lothar Primus is known as a specialist in sturgeon breeding. Because of its size and trusting behaviour, sturgeon is increasingly used in large ponds and garden ponds. There is no escape reflex inborn in him and therefore he even likes to be stroked by children. You can experience this up close by climbing into a waders provided by the Primus family and courageously entering the pond. With Lothar Primus or one of his employees you will quickly find out that it is not so easy to lift a 2.5 m long white sturgeon (A.transmontanus) weighing 200 kg. Some people have already felt “as fresh as a fish in water” and went swimming.

Besides sturgeon breeding, one of the few breeding facilities for Japanese Koi carp in Germany is also located on the fish stock. These koi are used as hobby fish for private garden ponds. Due to their trusting nature, they are highly appreciated by fish lovers as “pets” and can be admired in special pools in their splendid variety of colours by young and old. Koi grow in ultra-modern recirculation plants under the highest hygienic precautions in the best water quality. Larger koi can be admired in the open-air plant. When you have learned all you need to know about sturgeon and Koi after this extraordinary fishing experience, you will be pampered with freshly smoked, warm trout from our own ponds.
