- How to Cook American Shad
Lots of people don't like eating shad because of the many small bones. I am no exception! However, recently, I watched Alex Saeteurn's CZcams video regarding bbq and eating shad, which inspires me to do this video. Whoever first came up with this method of preparing shad should get an award! Enjoy...

Love love cuttings
As an international chef and holistic healing ❤️🩹 person
I recommend cooking in extra virgin coconut oil or avocado oil
Much healthier
😮😮😮 Blessed & Grateful for your comment!!! Have a blessed day! 🙏🙏🙏
I caught a bunch of huge Shad last night in Newport MA. Gave most to these Asian guys who were fishing next to me and apparently love them. Caught a 20" one just after they left and figured I'd try it myself. Thanks for the video!
Try it out and let me know what you think. Grateful for your comment. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Are you still around after the shad tasting?
@@notsoeloquent I haven’t received any feedback that it’s not good. I normally eat the entire one by myself. If it’s good enough for President George Washington and his men…. That’s why the American Shad is also known as the founding fish . I love it. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Yeee! Thanks for the shoutout brother! When done right, shad are one of my favorite fish to eat! Nice video! 👍🏻👍🏻
Learned from watching your video Bro! Just had some the other day. A big thank you to you! 👍🙏🎣⚒
JUltimateFisherman thanks 😊 I
This is the easiest way I've seen to prepare shad. Definitely going to try it!
Make sure that the cross cut is thin… around 1/4 inch or thinner. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce. Grateful for the comment. 🙏🙏🙏
Enjoyed every minute
Thank you for watching and for your generous comment! 😀🐟✌
I like to take the eggs from the females or the ribs. For a fish, they have a surprising amount of meat on their ribs. I'll for sure try this for cooking the rest of the fish this season!
Let me know how you like it. Thank you for watching. 🙏🙏🙏
Man that looks so good !!!
It is delicious, especially if you dip with your favorite spicy sauces. Thank you for your visit. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Going to have to try that, thx.
Nice and easy Bro. Just had it again the other day. It's the way to go.... 👍🙏🎣⚒
Thanks for the recipe just got my first shad today I'm gunna try this!!
The meat is sweet and delicious. No worrying about bones. Thank you for watching. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
did it melt the bones
No. However, the bones are soft and can be easily consumed. Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍

Thx! 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Love your videos my brother 🙏
Thank you. Grateful for your comment. 🙏🙏🙏
The other way, is to cut it the same way you did here, but brush oil on it and put it in the oven on low heat for 5-6 hours, or air fryer low heat for 80-90 minutes. Still makes it crispy golden brown but not all oily.
Wow! Thank you so much. Shad season is just around the corner. I will definitely try this out. This will help with my high cholesterol problem. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
@@JUNationFishing Though the chunks will probably need to be a bit smaller to cook all the way to the middle. It will be dried out, like fish chips.
I eat the roe too. It’s very high in cholesterol, but the good kind
Could you smoke it instead of in the oven??
My brother Capt Chris loves to smoke them; I do not. Try it and let me know. 🙏🙏🙏
@@codyrunge8190 Smoking is one of, if not the best, way to prepare them. I've also pickled them which was pretty darn good as well.
Looks delicious
It was! I love the way that we do not have to worry about the bones. Thanks for watching. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Tiger fish baby !
Tiger? That would be the symbol for my Vo Nam Chi self defense system 😂🤣😅. Grateful that you stopped by. Have a blessed day! 👍👍👍
very nice recipe
Taste really good too. Grateful for your comment. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Nice thanks for sharing. What kind of frying pan are you using and where can I get one ?
Non-stick frying pan. My lovely wife can’t remember where she purchased it. Grateful for your comment. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Planning to try some Shad fishing up there. What other fish would you say shad taste similar to? Thanks
If not prepared or cook properly, it won’t taste good. Fish should be bled right away if you plan to eat it. If you don’t eat it the same day, make sure you soak it in milk for an hour before cooking it to get rid of the fishy smell. It is extremely boney, i.e., has lots of bones. It’s meat is soft and sweet. In my opinion, minus the bones, it tastes like steelhead. Thanks for watching. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
👍
Thank you for your comment. Shad tastes really good, but the bones are a nightmare!!! 👍🏽🙏🎣⚒️

Thank you very much! I appreciate your support! 👍🙏🎣⚒
So what happens to the little bones? They get rendered? So the basis is to cook it long?
The bones are super soft. The key is to make small cuts less than 1/4 inch! Once cooked, one cannot tell that the bones are there; the bones become a part of the meat. Try it and let me know what you think. Use some dipping sauce and it will tastes even better! Thanks for stopping by. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey JU can you use shad eggs and meat for cTching striper?
Most definitely! Shad eggs is one of the best baits for stripers during the Shad run! 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
@@JUNationFishing how do you keep them on the hook?
@@iklink Tie with magic thread. Works every time. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
@@JUNationFishing you don't cure it or anything or salt it first?
@@iklink No curing! If you don’t get a bite within 5 minutes, there ain’t no stripers nearby. That’s for real! 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
God is good brother
Amen! All the time, God is Good! I appreciate your comment! 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒ Bam! 💥 Bam! 💥
The best part of Shad is the scale. Try the same recipe but do not remove the scale and fry it.
Wow. Thanks. Grateful for your tip. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
Why not start from cooking. Takes too long
That is a great idea. Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll try to remember for the next John Can’t Cook show. In the mean time, thank God for the fast forward button! And thank you for your visit. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒
have you ever tried smoking the shad first and then frying it like this after? I might try that today
Wow! When you do, please leave me a comment to let me know how it tastes. 🙏🙏🙏
