Sautéd Shad Roe

In the spring, shad come up the rivers to spawn, so this is a favorite springtime treat. The roe comes in a "set" which has two sacs containing the eggs. The membranes around the sacs are fragile, so handle them carefully.

1 shad roe set
6-4 slices of bacon
Butter
Salt & pepper

Fry 4-6 slices of bacon in a non-stick skillet. Put the bacon aside, pour off some of the grease, add a tablespoon of butter, then carefully put the roe sacs into the hot oil. Flavor with salt and pepper. Sauté at medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side depending on the size of the sacs. Use the bacon slices as garnish. Serves 2.
