15. Except for the Monarch, No Royal Is Permitted to Eat Sturgeon

Reason: The monarch owns all sturgeon that are caught within the kingdom.
An exception would be the rare and pricey sturgeon, which is gifted by the monarch and is frequently connected to grandeur and richness. Not all royals, though, are able to freely savor this treat. A statute dating back to the 1300s states that any “royal fish”—which includes dolphins, whales, sturgeon, and porpoises—that are caught within the kingdom belong to the monarch.

This rule is less about dining tastes and more about the symbolism of the monarch’s authority. But one way other royals could be able to enjoy this delicacy is if the monarch gives the sturgeon to others.
