THE QUALITY OF SHAD
ALLEGED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
POTOMAC VARIETY AND OTHERS,
Expert Says All Depends Upon Length
Of Time Fish Are Kept After
Being Caught.

1t having been suggested that there was
noticeable difference between the meat
of the shad of the Potomac and those of
the Hudson and Connecticut rivers, which
difference, it was claimed was unfavorable
to the home product. a Star reporter en-
deavored to ascertain from authentic
sources the reasons for such disparity, If
any exist. 1t has been maintained that
the meat of Potomac shad is soft and fab
by and nearly tasteless, as compared with
the meat of similar fish in northern
waters.
A number of old fishermen when ap-
preached on the question were of the opin-
ion that the colder waters of the north
had a tendency to keep the flesh of the
fish firm, but they would not admit that
there were any better shad anywhere in
the world than those caught in the Po-
tomac.
An expert on piscatorial matters at the
fish commission, when interviewed upon
the subject, said the excellence of shad de-
Ponds on it's freshness. They are naturally
soft-meated fish, he said, wherever found
and ought to be eaten as soon as possible
after capture, but as to any difference in
the fish themselves, none exists. The boast
made by people living along the different
streams on the Atlantic coast that the shad
In those streams are better than those from
other parts. he said, was entirely proper,
and the reason why that is true is that the
fish is fresher than any of those shipped in
from other points.
Temperature Not Factor.
Shad seek water of the same temperature,
he declared, and therefore a difference in
the temperature of the waters Of the north
and south could have no bearing on the
matter. Fish just in from the sea are, of
course, in the best of condition because of
the splendid feeding found in the ocean.
When the water in the stream gets to
certain temperature. said The Stars infor
mant, the shad begin to run, going up the
stream considerable distance to spawning
grounds. They do not run as far as sal
mon, however. The latter fish sometimes
travel 1890 miles from the sea, and when
they reach the spawning grounds are alb
solutely useless as ood.Halthough they are
eaten by the Indians. They become gaunt
and tasteless, and are covered with bruises
after the long run.
The expert said further that the past
season has been particularly poor one for
shad in the Potomac. there being a great
scarcity, due, perhaps, to the GOODNESS of
the water, which prevented them from COM
ing up stream. Temperature, he said, is
the controlling factor with fish, such as
shad, herring, salmon and striped bass.
1t would seem that each community where
shad are caught is entitled to boast of the
excellence of it's product, when it is eaten
in the locality where the fish are captured,
but shad, when shipped to other markets,
fail to sustain the reputation as the best
which has been gained near their native
waters. Tihsl n
