Shad is a fish common to freshwater in the eastern USA.
Shad roe is the roe, or fish eggs, of the shad. The American, or Atlantic, shad is especially favored for the table.
They are a bit like salmon in that they live a year or two in freshwater, then go to salt water.

I have never had Shad Roe before myself, however there is a place in PA, New Hope, that has a Shad Roe festival every year. It is supposed to be a delicacy. I would think it is like eating caviar in some ways. At the Shad Roe festival, they make it in a lot of different ways, sauteed, fried, even in ice cream, I swear! Everyone seemed to be enjoying their shad roe, so be brave and give it a try! Your wife will love you for it.

Shads are similar looking to herrings but they are a lot more aggressive. You could catch plenty of shads on lures and they put on a good fight. Not only are they in rivers, but they also enter saltwater inlets. It's not uncommon to catch a three pounder.
