Start practicing, this guy wants to retire.

Oh YUK that is so nasty!!! I had to eat them as a kid (cooked of course) and I won't touch one to this day!!

Fresh smoked salty smelt used to be the sheeyat
when I was a pup.I would'nt touch one these day's.
Good luck,

When I was a kid, my mom used to cook smelt and pancakes for dinner, Tennessee Earnie Ford on the radio singing about coal mining. OH YUK!!!!

Smelt and pancakes for dinner? DUDE...

Sounds like punishment! Bad boy?

Making the choice, as an adult, has it's merits!

I'm thinking pass on dinner at navigators moms house on fishycake night! Decline her invitation
politely with the prospect of having prior dinner plans that evening at the Jones with dogfish and dumplins on the menu.

If you feel obligated to invite her along...lie away the jones...and look up Dogfish for that new recipe book! I hear it has some killer souffle! :p

FJ...out.

Got smelt?

When you're 9 years old, you eat what you're told.
Just brings back memories :p :p :p

I love those little buggers!!!!

My wifes grandparents get them out of the straights at twin rivers.I have three bags in the freezer right now.

Too bad we don't have smell-a-vision as I would start frying for ya all right now!!!

This stirred up old memories. It's not about Smelt but about Califlower. When I was very small and about a hundred years younger. My folks were going to take us kids to the movies after dinner. Well we had Califlower for dinner as a vegetable. I didn't like it then and refused to eat it. Well my dad said we can go when I eat it. Well I spoiled our outing. I sat at the table for three hours. And I still didn't eat it. Now that I'm older I'll eat it. Jim
