The Founding Fish
by John McPhee
The speaker discusses American shad fishing and references John McPhee's book 'The Founding Fish,' describing it as 'sort of like an American history, but about that fish.' The book is mentioned in the context of explaining the traditional way to prepare shad roe (fish eggs) and the historical importance of the shad fishery to Americans, including a story about Daniel Boone's family and the abundance of shad in Pennsylvania.
