CRISP FRIED SMELT - SMELTS



Crisp Fried Smelt - Smelts image

I remember making these as a young girl during lent. The last time before today was for my FIL who is gone now for 22 years. He enjoyed them so. These small fish are very addictive. This simple recipe is easy quick and only 4 ingredients. Smelt is the name of a family of silvery fishes found in cool waters. Most measure less than 8 inches (20 centimeters) long. Smelts have a small, fleshy fin behind the dorsal fin on the back like trout and salmon. This is very inexpensive, making it great for those on a tight budget.

PORT WASHINGTON FRIED SMELT



Port Washington Fried Smelt image

Smelt was mentioned in a post somewhere and it inspired me to submit this recipe. Springtime is smelt season in the Lake Michigan area. This recipe comes from Port Washington, Wisconsin which is the home of the World's Largest Smelt Fry. The recipe is (was) a guarded secret but the Chicago Tribune test kitchen managed to get some of the details, so here's the recipe....
