  • Wow! Did you know that the First President of the United States, George Washington, and his troops ate #AmericanShad ? I learned recently that American shad is also known as the #FoundingFish ! Of course, most #fishermen know that American #shad is a super fun #fish to catch on light gear. They are also known as the #PoormanTarpon. Shad have lots of small bones that are difficult to remove; they are extremely difficult to fillet as well. Because of this, many people don’t know how to prepare, cook and eat shad. I recently learned another easy way to prepare, cook, and eat shad without worrying about the bones! I am not the first one to discover this technique. I learned it from a compilation of existing CZcams videos. This video is my rendition….
    Enjoy!

Put them in an instapot with 1/4 c vinegar,a bunch of Thai chilis,chili bamboo shoots,wood ear mushrooms two cups water, tbl fish sauce ,tbls sor sauce. Hot and sour soup.the bones get soft in an instapot 30 minutes. Pour over Vietnamese noodles. Great soup. I do the same with salmon heads

    • @JUNationFishing
      @JUNationFishing  Před 4 lety

      Yes, bones are no longer a problem. My little daughter confirmed this. Also, I have had viewers tried this recipe and confirmed it as well. This is not a trick. I believe our founding fathers must have prepared it this way because it is simple and do not required any special tools.... Thanks for watching. 👍🙏🎣JU Hammah⚒

      @JUNationFishing  Před 4 lety

      It's the "Founding Fish!" The meat is very sweet and the roe delicious. Our First President and his troops enjoyed it, so there must be something to it. I like it. My kids like it too when they don't have to deal with the bones. I didn't show the dip, but the fish chips can be dipped with a variety of sauces to spice up the taste too!

    What setup do you use for shad ?

    • @JUNationFishing
      @JUNationFishing  Před 3 lety +1

      From a boat, the easiest setup is a Hi-Lo Rig, with a 2-oz sinker on the bottom, 2-foot up put one size no. 6 hook with an 1-inch grub, go another foot up, add another no. 6 hook and another grub. That's all there is to it.
