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.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

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.

my wife tried to look something up on you tube and it wouldn't let her unless she signed in
or register a google/gmail account.


WTF?!
