Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the pairs of roe in half, taking care not to damage the membrane. Wipe them dry with paper towels and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the bacon in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) and drain on paper towels. Pour the fat from the skillet and wipe the pan with a paper towel.

  3. Step 3

    Add the oil and butter to the skillet and when hot, add the roe and saute on both sides until lightly browned but pinkish in the middle. Do not overcook or the roe will be dry. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with lemon.

Tip
  • This dish is good with boiled potatoes and steamed spring vegetables.

Where do you find shad roe these days? Haven't seen the canned in years and restaurants buy up all the fresh when in season.

It's still early In the session, but I just saw the first sets at wegmans. Generally shad roe is only available in early spring or late winter.
