Silver smelt comes from a specialized fishery in Northern California, where fishers harvest the fish using dip nets. Get your hands on these fish because they’re crazy easy to enjoy! Silver smelt are eaten whole (don’t worry, the bones soften when cooked!) and make for the perfect finger food. Pan-fry these little guys for an appetizer or snack that is crispy on the outside and flaky and soft on the inside. Or, go the Norwegian route and dip these in a simple sauce made from olive oil, garlic, lemon, and parsley. Let us know what you think!
