Delicate and complex flavor. Creamy with a great texture.

Flavorful, Creamy, Rich

Shad Roe is a springtime delicacy. The Shad run into the channels of Eastern rivers from the Atlantic to spawn.  During this "once-a-year" opportunity, the American Shad is caught and filleted for the Roe. Many seafood lovers are drawn to this special occasion. Shad Roe are high in Fat and therefore remain creamy after cooking. They have a delicate flavor that typically transports other ingredients to the palate.
