March 12-17: Shad Week at Oyster House
The weather is slowly getting warmer, and we all know what that means: shad. (Just us?) As a restaurant precursor to the fourth annual Fishtown Shad Fest (to be held April 28), Oyster House (1516 Sansom St.) is hosting what they're calling Shad Week ("kinda like Shark Week, but totally different"). For those who've never sampled what some refer to as "poor man's salmon," shad is an oily critter from the herring family. Its roe is considered a delicacy and is usually cooked in the egg sac. From March 12 to 17, Oyster House will be offering a three-course shad tasting menu for $40 per person in honor of the fish that gave Fishtown its name. Details after the jump.
First course: Pickled shad with cucumber, beets and rye croutons, ceviche-style
Second course: A croquette with smoked shad roe and turmeric-steeped onions
Third course: A crispy, seared shad filet over grilled cipollini onions with pea tendrils and romesco
