I have caught and eaten many species or fresh and salt water fish here on the east coast. I have never planked fish..but I figger it must be tasty or why else would one do it.
Although never having eaten Shad or catching them for that matter, on a couple of Boy Scout canoe expeditions with my 3 sons, on the Delaware river, on the NY/PA border, I watched as anglers reeled in countless numbers of them.
My task was not to denegrate the planking of fish....it was in fact meant to denegrate the 2 people I mentioned and their lifestyle. the fish cooking method had, to my demented mind a humorous ring to it...so I co-opted it for denegration purposes.
No fish or lesbians were harmed in the making of this post.
ROFLMAO!!
Oh, so you just dragged in something that had nothing to do with the story, for no particular reason. Now I understand. :)
Shad's a good fish, but a lot of people love the roe - the big egg sac - and it's considered a delicacy. You can have that, as far as I'm concerned; I save people a lot of money on caviar for the same reason.
