Shad Restaurant
Message:
I had been looking for a restaurant that has American shad and shad roe on its menu, and found out that Max's Oyster Bar in West Hartford Center has it as a special: [img:87f5686be6]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/226/shadbaby.jpg[/img:87f5686be6] My daughter and I both tried it, and it was absolutely delicious. I had expected a more oily, fishy tasting fish, like mackerel, but the fish itself is very mild and light, almost like a freshwater fish. The roe is also delicious, but has more of an oily fish flavor, reminiscent of sardines without the salt. Now, I just have to try it cooked the more traditional Nutmegger way, roasted on a plank with bacon.
