== Description ==
Seafood Recipes by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, public domain government resource—original source of recipe
== Ingredients ==
* 2 egg yolks
* 1½ cups ice water
* 2 cups sifted cake flour
* shad fillets
=== Citrus Sauce ===
* 1 tsp butter
* pinch of salt
* 1½ tbsp fresh ginger, cut into a fine julienne
* 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
* juice of 4 oranges
* juice of 2 limes
* juice of 2 lemons
* corn starch
* 1 tbsp honey
* ½ tbsp butter
== Directions ==
# Soften shallots and ginger in 1 tsp butter and add pinch of salt. Do not brown. Add juice and bring to a boil. Do not reduce heat. Lightly thicken with cornstarch and add honey and 1 tbsp butter.
# Place yolks in a flat-bottomed dish (do not use a mixing bowl). 
# Stir in water, preferably using chopsticks. If you use a fork instead of chopsticks, stir lightly. #Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the flour over the liquid and chop in most of the flour, rather than stirring it in. The object is a fairly lumply, nonsmooth batter. Continue adding more flour and repeat the chopping, pushing down action. The consistency should be of a heavy whipping cream with lumps. The quantity of flour to liquid cannot be precise. If the batter seems too heavy, add more ice water.
# Dip Shad into batter to coat with a thin film. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
# Serve with sticky rice, and citrus sauce on the side for dipping.
