American Shad (Alose) Catch & Cook
Today I present you my first Shad (a.k.a. Alose in French) catch and cook video. Once a year the fish migrate from the ocean to freshwater to spawn. Their arrival is never missed as hundred of fishermen lined up along the shore of the river waiting for them impatiently every spring. Shad fishing this year has been more popular than ever with the lockdown and US and Ontario border closures. I spent two days fishing for them and I am very happy to get a few for this video.

Thank you!
Great vedio! I liked how you stopped the fish from suffering. But couldn't quite tell how you accomplished that in the vedio? Are you severing the vertebrae at the head? Also loved your fly casting with tape vedio. Outstanding conveyance of Suttle techniques!! Keep up the good work! just jim

Hi Jim, I just use to knife to make a deep cut right in between the eyes. I have heard of the Japanese method ikejime but didn't invest in the tool for that. Thank you for your kind words on the fly casting video Tight line!
Chef Wisit!! Amazing catches for the day and delicious looking fish croquettes 👨🏻🍳

Thank you Delissa, full recipe video to come next :)
To say that the American shad has a few bones is like saying that Hawaii has some sand.... I too spent about 2.5 hours doing a careful autopsy (can't really call it cleaning) on a couple of these fish (caught about 500m upstream from where you did!). Managed to produce several thin fillets, a back ache, a miffed/hungry wife and a strong conviction that C&R for this species is a must! I hear legends that there are people who can fillet these things, and have even seen videos but I'm thinking that's it's all urban myth and CGI. Anyway, good video, hope to see you on the water.

I totally agree with you, unless I know I have 3 hours to prep the fish I think C&R on this species is the way. Or until someone discloses the urban legends of making boneless fillets to me at least. Thank you for checking out this video and for your comment. It feels great to know I wasn't alone haha

@@wisitchan @Cameron Skinner, instead of picking the bones out and boiling just cook the fish in a pressure cooker all the bones will turn soft and edible (like canned mackerel or sardines) then mash the cooked fish with bones and make fish croquettes.

You know, they exist a way to fillet l'alose. Maurice Desfossé done a vidéo to show how to do it. If you get friendly whit the fellow down in the water, you will probebly meet someone who will show you the trick 😉

Type filet d'Alose Savoureuse on YT... had a good season
Is there a reason why you skipped the taste test part? The only reason I watched this was to see your reaction after tasting it.
