Ingredients

2 cups dry white wine
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup water
1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 2-to-3-pound shad, scaled and cleaned, head and tail intact

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine all ingredients except shad in a steamer large enough to hold the fish. The liquid should barely reach the rack. If necessary, add equal proportions of wine and lemon juice until it does, but do not allow shad and liquid to meet.
Place the fish on the rack. Cover tightly and steam for 5 hours. Serve immediately.
