Enjoy Fresh, Never Frozen Seafood – Shipped Overnight! LEARN MORE
It takes a true artist—or perhaps a surgeon—to remove the complex skeleton of intricate bones from the shad fish. Our Citarella fishmongers are among the select few still trained in this traditional, artisan process. And the results—very fatty, very rich, unmistakably bold flavored fillets—are of epicurean legend. Sourced in late winter to spring from the Atlantic—from Georgia to New York—these wild caught fish have rich history in the Hudson Valley and beyond, best served broiled with a side of broccoli rabe.
Our expert fishmongers will fillet it, so don't have to worry about bones. Season the Boned Shad fillet lightly, then broil.
Portion Size
Our Boned Wild Shad provides 2 portions per order. We recommend 10-12 ounces raw weight per person when serving shad. The size of this order is 2 portions (approx. 10-12 ounces per portion), which serves approx. 2 people.
"Shad is best with an assertive coastal white. Try a Fiano di Avellino from Campania."
