I'm sure that Europe never had - a fish as tasty as the Shad.
Some people greet the Shad with groans - complaining of its countless bones.
I claim the bones teach table poise - and separate the men from boys.
The Shad must be dissected subtle-ly - besides, the roe is boneless, utterly.

PS - Some years ago we lived in Westchester County N.Y. on the banks of the Hudson River. One spring day I noticed a silver stripe down the middle of the river. Upon closer inspection it was the "shad run" - hundreds of fish jumping and heading upstream to spawn north of the Tappan Zee Bridge. It was a remarkable sight.
Next - TBA (Mon.)
