Essay: Shad Roe and Spring
Listen
• 0:00
Weekend Edition essayist Bonny Wolf rejoices in a sign of spring that not all of us have had the pleasure of experiencing: the running of the shad, and the delicacy of shad roe. She offers a recipe:
Allison and Larry Shad Roe
4 sets shad roe
Seasoned flour

Butter and olive oil
Anchovy paste
Heat butter and olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan until just smoking. (Cast iron is nice.)
Season a pile of flour to taste with salt and pepper. Dredge roe through the mixture and lay gently in hot pan. Keep heat medium-high to high. Cook 3-5 minutes per side, depending on size. The roe should be firm but pink in the middle.
While roe is cooking, mix anchovy paste (to taste) with softened butter.
Place each set of roe on a warmed plate. Place a dollop of anchovy butter on each set. It melts and puddles around the roe. Pass the rest of the anchovy butter.
Serves 4 really good friends.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair.
