Planked Shad, Colbert

Scale and neatly trim half a fresh three-pound shad. Season all over with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper, and rub all over with a tablespoon oil. Oil the top of an oak shad plank, lay on the shad, skin side downward and place in the oven for thirty minutes. Remove, prepare a brioche potato preparation, drop into a pastry bag with a fancy tube at the bottom, then with it make a nice border all around the edge of the plank. Reset in the oven for fifteen minutes more, remove, pour a Colbert sauce over the fish and serve.
