Broiled Shad

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Shad belong to the scaly family, and are armed with fins. This delicious fish is undoubtedly best broiled. It should be fresh caught. Wash, sprinkle with salt, and put into a wire gridiron. Set over a clear fire, skin side down first. When beginning to cook through, turn and finish on the flesh side. Have it an even, nice brown. Serve on a hot platter, and butter liberally.
