My Dad & I used to scoop shad out of the Potomac under the cherry blossoms at night. We would pack the roe on ice & Bury the males & the bodies of the females in the garden. Had the best garden in NW DC... other than our neighbors in their 90s we had the ONLY vegetable garden in the neighborhood (before gardening was cool & after the Victory garden push).
I still bury fish viscera in the garden if I can't take it to the pigs (Mr. July & Mr. October) in the country an hour away.
