Fresh smelt:



Fairly important, as on a trout, to get this blood line out after you clean the fish. It scrubs right out with the wife’s toothbrush:






Dropped into a Dutch oven full of vegetable oil, out on the deck:



I use a mix of 50/50 masa herena corn flour and regular flour, beer, salt and baking powder for my beer batter. Plated, with garlic mashed potatoes and a garden salad, along with my regular dinner wine-PBR, in the can.

Good stuff.



Best,
Ted
