Annual Shad Bake ~ on Sunday, June 10th, 2018

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 10th, 2017

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

Food allergies? Let us know before we serve you.

WHAT ELSE? Stay and play horseshoes, meet up with old friends; get acquainted with new folks in town; enjoy the atmosphere and the view.

WHERE DO I GET TICKETS
  • See any MSC member, 
  • at the Moodus Package Store, 
  • mail a check - to
