In the olden days, hungry children on the Eastern Seaboard sat around the wood stove in their hovels waiting eagerly to get their mitts on some early spring shad roe:
"Mammy, Mammy git me a ripe and bulbous pair of shad roe you old hag!!" they cried out with fierce glee.
Their pupils swelled to the size of ha' pennies as they stared blankly at each other licking their chops and pounding their utensil clad fists on the table in unison. Evil Children. Then Mammy would waddle her fat patoot down to the local dock, score a few lobes and fry them up in lard to feed her brood.

Shad roe is seasonal, which you already know. It is from the Carolinas and it is really cool, if you are cool enough to pull it off. As usual it is accentuated beautifully by none other than our beloved pork commodity, bacon. Try saying "bacon" in a British accent, sounds like "beer can" in a Jamaican accent. You learn something new every day :)
