This delightful shad dish comes from Dauphin County. The recipe belonged to Mrs. Carl Adam, who lived in Harrisburg at the turn of this century. Since Mrs. Adam’s recipe makes quite a fulsome dinner, this may be treated as a one-pot meal.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a skillet and fry the breadcrumbs until straw colored, stirring constantly to prevent scorching (3 to 4 minutes). Add the parsley, chives, and savory, and remove from the heat.
