Shad Bake Season | The
Moodus Sportsman's Club has an annual shad bake every june || this photo is one of a couple dozen I snapped [that's right! it isn't digital] but it seemed to capture the essence of the event || That isn't me | My regular stint is to park the cars and pick-ups and to best arrange storage space in the sheds [good job for a pack rat, eh?] || As with hand typesetting the work at the shad bake is all by hand, using methods around long before vacuum pack and portion control entered the culinary mainstay || The shad, caught during the spring freshet of the Connecticut River, all get filleted and baked on rock maple planks in front of a long fire pit || the taste is incomparable ||
