I bet cajun spices or blackened redfish seasoning would do as well. Never shad fished before just netting gizzards and herring for bait. I wonder if bluefish could be a shad substituteIf it's like pickled northern pike (and the recipe's are about the same) they go well on a saltine with a dash of hotsauce or even better, horseradish.
