Smelts are very flavorful, similar to but less pungent than anchovies. The popularity of this dish in our family waxes and wanes; there is a lot of preparation, and it certainly makes the house smell like fish when they are frying up.
I got Dorothy excited about making them again after some 10+ years. I simply said that I missed them, which I did! They remind me of many Thanksgiving dinners at our house in Smoke Rise. We had a fantastic and noble dining room and this was the stinky prince that graced the room!
Recipe (I'm not sure this is right, but it's a start!)
- remove the head and fillet each fish
- dredge through flour
- fry in 1/4" of vegetable oil until medium brown
- share and enjoy!
