Grilled shad
shad grilled is usually reserved for a lot of shad, twenty or more, but can be adapted to a grill for smoking. The shad are cleansed of their scales, they removed the head, and then open butterfly from the top with the open belly.
Then, as the name implies, they are stuck and cooked on wooden planks previously heated, then brought back by the embers of a campfire. They are regularly washed and tables are periodically “flipped” (reverse) to bake more evenly.
You can use a small fire, 3 ‘x 6’, and the fire should not be so strong, but first a bed of coals after a large fire has been spent. The best fuel is walnut, but other hardwoods work. The Evergreens spoil the taste. Shad will take about 3-4 hours to cook after installation.
