A friend of mine use to smoke shad and can it,it was really good.He died before ,I started to get serious about trying it so, I never got his recipe,I do know that canning it cooks the bones out,but I'm telling you there is a gazillion bones in that fish and there a real bear to fillet.I might still try it if I can find a recipe.
NO MATTER YOU"VE GOT TO GO IT IS GREAT TIME
Good Luck
