Annual Shad Bake ~ Sunday June 9, 2019

Quite possible the longest continuously operated Planked Shad Bake in Connecticut, the Moodus Sportsmen's Club Annual Shad Bake will be held this year ~ rain or shine ~ on Sunday, June 9th, 2019  - PLEASE NOTE This is the Sunday before Father's Day

WHAT TIME DOES IT START? Festivities begin at noon . . . although the tickets say "serving until 2 p.m." we'll be there until the food is gone.

What are we having
TO EAT? 

Planked and filleted (that's right, we have already taken care of the bones) shad dinners are a prized culinary treat.

The technique - believed to have originated with native tribes - is where shad is nailed to large boards and baked in front of a pit of hot coals, and it is a long held New England tradition.

You won't be going away hungry. There will be plenty of other great things including chowder, venison chili, a variety of cold salads, chicken, hot dogs, watermelon and more.
