SHAD ROE WITH BACON AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Fry the bacon until it is crisp, drain it and warm it in a low oven.
• Cut the shad fillets in half and place them with the roe in the milk. Remove them, season them with salt and pepper and dredge them lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Using a nonstick pan, heat the peanut or vegetable oil and saute the fillets and the roe until they are golden on both sides. (This can be done in two batches if necessary). Turn heat down and cook four to five minutes. Handle roe carefully to prevent them from splitting. Remove to heated platter and keep warm.
• While the fish is cooking, heat the butter in another pan. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook until the former are golden brown. Stir in the creme fraiche and the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce onto the fish and sprinkle with parsley and bacon. Serve at once.

SHAD AND SHAD ROE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut the fillets in half crosswise.
• Combine the milk, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and place the flour in another dish. Dip the fillets and the roe into the milk, then in the flour to coat both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side up, then the roe. If the pan is too small, cook as much as you can, set aside to keep warm and repeat. Saute the shad for about 2 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Carefully turn the shad and the roe. When they are golden brown cover the pan tightly and continue cooking until they are cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes depending on the size of the roe. Transfer the fillets and roe to a warm plate and keep warm.
• In the same skillet add the remaining oil and the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, shaking the pan and stirring or tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown.
• Add the garlic, shaking and tossing for 20 seconds. Do not brown the garlic. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Blend well and spoon the mixture over the fish. Serve Immediately.

SHAD ROE WITH MUSTARD

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.

• 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.
