SHAD ROE
Steps:
- Melt butter in a skillet. While foaming is subsiding, lightly dredge roe in flour and shake off excess. Add roe and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Turn over, and brown on the other side. Remove the roe to a plate. If necessary add more butter to the skillet. Add ginger and saute for a moment. Add lemon juice and remove from heat; season with salt and pepper, add parsley or chives and spoon over shad. Serve with lemon or lime wedges.
SHAD ROE WITH MUSTARD
Shad the largest member of the herring family, migrates to the rivers of the East Coast every spring. It's a big, bony fish (filleting it properly is an increasingly rare skill) with moist flesh that is not unlike that of salmon. But its huge egg sacs, which come in pairs held together by a thin membrane, are the real attraction. They're filled with millions of eggs, which, if they are not overcooked, remain creamy and rich in a way that is reminiscent of fine organ meat-not quite foie gras, but not that far away either. As a bonus, the exterior membrane becomes slightly crisp. Most shad roe is sadly overcooked, but this need not be the case. Keep the cooking time for shad roe short, just long enough to firm up the roe and cook it to the equivalent of medium-rare. (It's okay to cut into it for a look-see the first couple of times you try this, but it's also pretty easy to get the hang of it, because the change in texture is rather dramatic.) Note that this recipe serves two; it's easy enough to double, however; just use two skillets instead of one to avoid crowding the roe.

Steps:
- Heat an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for a minute or two, then add the butter. When it melts, gently lay the shad roe in the pan and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the underside is lightly browned.
- Turn very gently-a large spatula is best for this-and season the cooked side. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, again until the underside is lightly browned. By this time the roe should be quite firm to the touch; if it is still soft, cover the pan and cook for another minute or two, then cut into it to check. When done, the center will be red and the area surrounding it pink.
- Transfer the roe to a warm plate. Add the mustard and 1/4 cup of water to the pan; stir. Raise the heat to high and stir the sauce with a wooden spoon until smooth and thick. Spoon over the roe, garnish if you like, and serve immediately.
- Shad Roe with Capers and Vinegar: In step 3, omit the mustard. Instead, stir in 2 tablespoons capers, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until blended and the liquid is reduced by about half. Spoon over the roe, garnish, and serve.
- Shad Roe with Bacon: Omit the butter. Begin by cooking 4 thick slices good-quality bacon over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is done; remove the bacon and keep warm. Cook the shad roe in the bacon fat, exactly as directed. Serve the shad roe and bacon with lemon wedges, garnished with fresh parsley.
SHAD ROE WITH BLACK BUTTER CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Pat the roe dry with paper towels and dredge them lightly with flour.
- Heat the oil and one tablespoon butter in a large skillet and brown the roe on both sides. Cover the pan and continue cooking for a further five to eight minutes, or until the roe are firm when pressed with your finger. Remove them to a heated platter and keep them warm.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Add the remaining butter and cook over medium heat, stirring, until it turns light brown. Add the capers and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and pour the sauce over the roe. Garnish with lemon and parsley and serve.

Steps:
- Cut the shad fillets in half crosswise. Season the fillets and roe with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in each of two nonstick skillets and add the fillets skin side down in one pan. In the other pan add the roe and cook both over medium heat for 3 minutes, shaking the pans. Then turn the fillets and roe and cook for 3 minutes more. (It is a good idea to cover the pan with the roe while cooking to prevent splattering.)
- Remove the fish with a slotted spatula to a warm serving plate or platter. Separate each pair of roe lengthwise. Place a half on top of each piece of shad.
- In one of the skillets, add the butter and shallots. Cook and stir until wilted.
- Add the lemon juice and the parsley. Cook briefly while stirring, and then pour the mixture over the fish and serve.

Steps:
- Place the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Place the stock in another saucepan and heat over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, melt three tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the foam subsides, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the flour. Return to the heat and whisk for another minute and gradually add the stock. Raise the heat and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Add the reduced cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook for 10 minutes.
- Melt the remaining butter in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the sorrel and stir into the sauce mixture. Reserve on the side of the stove.
- Wash the roe gently in cold water, pat dry with paper toweling and set aside. In a heavy, nonreactive skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Gently coat the roe in the butter, cover the skillet and cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.
- Divide the shad roe onto warm plates and spread the sorrel sauce over each pair of roe. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
