How to bone a shad

[greenmonster]

So, I was curious about the shad runs in Eastern NC and whether you could eat them. So, of course, I turned to the source of all wisdom and knowledge - YouTube. How humans survived without it for so many year's is a great mystery to me.

Anywho, I found this video which was . . . informative. Hopefully you all will find this as funny as I did.

This is so very very very wrong . . . Oh, the dangers of leaving things open to interpretation . . . Skip to 1:15 to begin your education:

I haven't eaten a hickory shad or an American shad, but salted herring is fantastic. There are regs on herring now, so I'm not sure how that affects eating them now.

He said "bone a shad"......

Yes, Mward, he did. over and over and over, and I couldn't stop laughing. He was "self taught" by his daddy to bone shad. How can you be self taught by someone else?? He won a science fair by boning shad and his teacher loved it.
