Seeing some people trying them in the Nottoway and Roanoke river around Weldon. Probably more just slinging baits than catching.

Might be a dumb question……but does anyone eat Shad? Or are they just kept for bait for a later date?

Select a moderate-sized shad, dress carefully although this is not as important as some might think, although it is best that it be fairly well done. Remove the head,open the fish and spread it out on a thin flat board a trifle wider than the shad is when he is expanded, the fleshside of the fish to be next to the board. WIth a few small nails fasten the fish to the board, give it a dash of salt and pepper and slip it into a hot oven. Baste it occasionally while it is baking, which will require about two hours, after which the fish may be removed from the oven and prepared for the table.
The rest is easy. Pull out the nails, throw away the shad and eat the board.

Have eaten them years ago. About like a herring. Fillet them and they still be full of bones. Fry them to the consistency of a craker where you can eat the bones. Anything less done than that you might be making trip to ER to get bone out of throat. No doubt the best part is the roe rolled in some corn meal then dropped in some hot lard for a few minutes.

We eat them here, more of a tradition than anything. Slice steaks thin and fry till crisp like a herring. We fry the roe , fry the fish and eat with collards . Drink plenty of Budweiser. If done properly you should wake up having to piss around 1am with heartburn , shortly after you should feel the Colon cleanse start . Good times , especially if you are camping on the creek bank .

I occasionally bake American (white)shad low and slow. It dissolves most the small bones. Some older folks i know really like it probably takes them down memory lane
