Thank you again for the help with the shells. Now my wife wonders if -when she does her smelts

just coating them in seasoned flour and fry them in a pan would that give them a nice crisp finish or should she break down and use the breading. ( she just finds it too heavy.)

1. Panko is a much lighter alternative n/t

2. Smelts are incredibly oily fish

so a light coating of flour or cornmeal should be it.

Factoid: they called them candlefish because with a little drying, you could substitute them in a pinch.

A roommate used to bake them in milk. They weren't that bad, either.

Stupid question.

If they're like that, why would one want to dine on them?

That's a good question.  This primtive doesn't think they're oily enough:

5. I just made them for Christmas Eve dinner.

I soak them in milk overnight then drain them before frying. I add some garlic powder and Lawrey's seasoned salt to flour, coat them and fry them in vegetable oil. I wouldn't bread them. It's really not necessary.

That sounds like something that we'd call bait in the south.

Just be careful, BoB, that you don't dangle her arms too close to the fryer. You just got her back from the tire shop after her 25,000 mile rotation and balancing, and there may not be enough remaining rubber. The old gal must have more patches on her than a steamer trunk has travel stickers.
