American shad [SEP] Introduction
The American shad ("Alosa sapidissima") is a species of anadromous clupeid fish naturally distributed on the North American coast of the North Atlantic, from Newfoundland to Florida, and as an introduced species on the North Pacific coast. The American shad is not closely related to the other North American shads. Rather, it seems to form a lineage that diverged from a common ancestor of the European taxa before these diversified. The American shad has been described as "the fish that fed the (American) nation's founders". Adult shad weigh between , and they have a delicate flavor when cooked. It is considered flavorful enough to not require sauces, herbs, or spices.
