I ate that with my in-laws in an Iraqi restaurant in Dubai. It was the specialty of the house, and the barbeque and fish were displayed behind a heat-shielding glass. The fish was amazing with a fresh mango pickle. It was definitely a river fish, slow cooked before the open flame. I'd never had anything even remotely similar, but the fish was meltingly good with a mild, non-fishy flavor. I've been wondering how to get close to the recipe without a grill. I'll try yours!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213223604565249240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-24026949957823121592008-04-20T21:20:00.000-05:002008-04-20T21:20:00.000-05:00I live in AA County MD, and I only go into DC when...I live in AA County MD, and I only go into DC when absolutely necessary. but for some reason, I always make it down at least once every spring for precisely the same reason you described.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm.

DC in the spring is resplendent, especially in Georgetown and Capitol Hill, where the blooms look so beautiful against the painted brick backdrops of the houses. I wish I were there!anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992807746257042982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-26693647671179561632008-04-16T22:45:00.000-05:002008-04-16T22:45:00.000-05:00I was very interested in your findings about cooki...I was very interested in your findings about cooking the fish a long time at a low temp to dissolve the bones...but how do you avoid having the fish become dried out?<BR/><BR/>Also, can you describe the taste of shad? Is it a mild taste? or strong?<BR/><BR/>-suz.suzanneelizabeths.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304462740451230118noreply@blogger.com
