Spring Shad

April 22nd, 2026 § 0 comments

Yes, it’s Spring and Rhody is green, colorful and gently warm. Asparagus are in season and HG/BSK are eating many buttery, tasty stalks. HG misses the shad and shad roe with bacon that were served in the Spring at Christ Cella, the long closed great New York  steak house, and Gage & Tollner, the legendary Brooklyn seafood restaurant. These wonderful aquatic treats were harvested by New Jersey fishermen along the Hudson River; a harvest going back to the 1600’s. HG once sponsored a shad bake as part of a PR effort for New Jersey. Ice Cold beer and all the shad and roe you could eat.  Heaven.
