I think smoking and canning is the easiest approach. I’ve never tried it thought because it’s a lot of work, and as you know, there are a lot of other tasty fish swimming around these parts.

Let me tell you, anyone that's brave enough to try to saute and fry these are definitely in for the "treat" you described. I personally like it smoked (Gold Star makes it really good whenever I decide to purchase some) when I do it myself and it comes out pretty good for someone like me. I bet it would taste even better if you boil it out, then smoke it, but I haven't tried that yet. How do you prepare your shad?

The other nice feature of the fillet knife is that the blade bends, which is the key to doing the job quickly and cleanly.

You can get the knife at Andy and Bax, and the fillet board a few doors down at Ollie Damon's. If I was a good friend, I would have told you about these before we went. Sorry about that! Cheers, Motor David,

Sadly, it was 11:30pm and I'd already brushed my teeth and the boudoir was then infused with the joy of fish-stank for the rest of the evening. But, like I said, it was sweet and adorable.
