"No Shad" -- A Fuller Story

More than three years ago I wrote a post that I called No Shad, which you can read here. Today a reader in Connecticut named Joe Zalentz left a comment to that post, and it was apt enough for me to cut and paste, and to use here, so it's easier to find. Here's what Joe wrote:

I have a shad museum in Higganum,Ct.This year there was a slight increase of shad in the Ct. River which gives us hope for the future. There were enough fish netted to provide sales at the supermarkets and for shad bakes. The shad sold are usually deboned by skilled deboners because most people are turned off by the many bones. The fish is delicious as well as the roe(the female fish eggs. Check out the Haddam Shad Museum on your search engine.
