You can batter and fry the whole sack like a shrimp, my Dad always liked his scrambled with eggs. Not me :smiley:

If you fry the whole sack, watch for exploding eggs!

Most everyone I know wraps them in bacon and grills till bacon is crisp. I would just as soon eat the fish it’s self as the roe. I’ve finally given up trying to acquire a “taste” for them.

Bacon makes everything taste better! To me almost anything would make shad roe taste better. Not my favorite thing, I haven’t eaten it since I left home 43 years ago.

I am not sure how people eat them. Only way I have ever had them that was even somewhat edible was smoked.

LoL…never heard anyone actually say “shad eggs” before.

Grew up with shad & mullet roe…and still love it.

I’ve talk to a few guys they say slice the fish up in small steaks not like a fillet but instead of laying him flat on the table hold him up and cut them about 1/4 inch thick and have the grease hot and hard fry them and you can eat rite three the little bones I might try that one in hard times but we caught so many roe last time I don’t eat the fish just use them for catfish bait bit I cut the eggs out and it was a pile of them and I wanted to find a way to cook them that I really liked.
