TO DRESS SHAD

Author: Top of the Rock Astronaut / Labels:

INGREDIENTS.--1 shad, oil, pepper, and salt.

Mode.--Scale, empty and wash the fish carefully, and make two or three incisions across the back. Season it with pepper and salt, and let it remain in oil for 1/2 hour. Broil it on both sides over a clear fire, and serve with caper sauce. This fish is much esteemed by the French, and by them is considered excellent.

Time.--Nearly 1 hour.

Seasonable from April to June.

Planked Shad

Author: Top of the Rock Astronaut / Labels:


Have a well-seasoned plank about 2 ft. long and 1½ wide, hickory is the best wood. Clean the fish, split it open and tack it to the plank with four good-sized tacks, skin side to the board. Dredge it with salt and pepper. Put the plank before the fire with the large end down. Then change and put the small end down; when done spread with butter and serve just as it is.
