Falmouth Colors: Shad Roe

Have you ever eaten shad roe? Do you know what it is? It’s the egg sac of the shad who are swimming upstream to spawn in our local rivers right now – but they won’t be here long.

Prep is easy – just sauté in butter, add a little salt and pepper, and dig in. Doesn’t get any more local or fresh than this!

The Cataumet Fish Market is selling this spring treat for $12.99 a lb.

Falmouth Colors: Consignment Classics

We want spring, badly, but the truth is that on the Cape, we have a few spring-like days before summer, and that’s all.

I get in the mood, though, doing a ruthless sweep through my closet and bringing the spring things that haven’t seen the light of day for a year or two to Sharon at Consignment Classics at The Courtyard in Cataumet, and to Lynn at The Buyway Boutique in the Queens Byway.

Today I was at CC. I already feel lighter! Resisted buying more than I delivered, usually a losing battle.
