Broiled Shad

Select a shad weighing about 4 pounds. Have the fish dealer split and bone it. Wash fish thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Place the split, boned shad on a well greased broiler pan. Brush the fish with melted butter or margarine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil fish, 3 to 5 inches from the heat, without turning, 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a heated platter. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Makes 4 servings.
