I always figured the Valley Inn in Brooklandville would proffer it. They assist up many old opinion dishes for the WASPY set, like turkey tetrazzini, so shad roe would fit honest in.  Of circuit, the Valley Inn is so old boarding-school that they don’t have a website. Since I’ve never gotten around to stopping in there – go upon, since I’m a wannabe colleague of the old set of beliefs, WASPY set – I’ve never had the conceivability to look at their menu and ensure my premonition. In beyond to the Chameleon Café and Shamrocks, the chef at The Oceanaire will arrange shad roe for you if you give him a unite of days' see.  For all, for the right fanatics, there is Shad Fest in Lambertville, New Jersey at the end of April, which sounds like a shad-tastic happening.

I had a shad roe appetizer at The Dogwood on Tuesday sundown. It was my first encounter with shad roe, and I enjoyed it. It found it a bit queer, and odd in grain, but palatable. The head waiter sold it as a dish for the more "rash" eater. I would assent to. They served it with a red cheek and speckle fancy. No bacon on the pane. It was also my first pop in to Dogwood, and I loved it. They are very gone on and bribable, and were most appreciative of our calling. I belief they are capable to head-stay expose!
