Ingredients
  • shad
  • ingredients for stuffing a chicken
  • melted butter
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions
  1. Procure a large, fine shad - clean it thoroughly, then fill it with the same kind of stuffing used for fowles.
  2. Tie a string round it in order to keep it together, put it in your bake-pan, and baste it with butter, pepper and salt.
  3. When well cooked (it will require about twenty minutes to bake), untie the string, and serve it upon a fish dish, with melted butter poured over

I had to look up 'shad' I'd never heard of it before!

We really need to eat more fresh fish in our house. My eldest and my Hubby (a Chef) *love* all kinds of fish and seafood, the rest of us can take it or leave it.

Simple and tasty recipe, I'll try it. Thanks.


Stuffed fish. This sounds yummy. Thanks Mystic.


This is a dish that is very popular here in the Hudson Valley... In the early spring there is a Shad Run up the river where they spawn...( Like a Salmon Run )

My Grandmother and then my Aunts all made Stuffed Shad.. I will have to see if I have their recipe in my Aunt's box.. I think it was one that was just passed down, not written down.. thank you for a great recipe and wonderful memories.
