April 29, 2019 — Shad – Is it the tofu of the sea?
Not known as a delicious fish by itself, some people resort to mixing it with other ingredients to make it more palatable. In recent years at Shad Fest in Lambertville, Bell’s Tavern offered Shad & Shrimp Fritters. This year Caffe Galleria had Shad Tacos on their menu, but as of lunchtime on Saturday, had no takers.
We’re not trying to throw shade at shad, but let’s face it, who really hungers for the taste of this particular bony, oily fish?
Actually, we ran into some folks who do.
