Ate these so often as a kid growing up in our Italian family, especially during Lent leading up to Easter. Cooked same way, except left all the outside parts on bc those little fins and tails can be crunchy good! Just them in a huge bowl with a big side of a lemon wedge-bam! ;)
out of the ocean into the smoker then onto the off side off the BBQ to make them crunchy . never thought of cleaning the little beggers . capelin / smelt same thing .
Why do you descale them? They appear to be already cleaned. Is that like those people who wash chicken before cooking? Something that’s not necessary but they feel they have to do it… like my mom, lol.
I'm one of those people that wash chicken, pork, beef, and fish before cooking them. You name it, I wash it before cooking. I even wash prewashed bag salads and veggies that claim to have been triple washed. I may be viewed as anal but, I won't get sick or die
Not a great recipe but, thanks. Good way to get dried out, over-cooked pieces of fish jerky. Much better to use a wet batter (Drakes+beer) and coat before frying. Retains the moisture and creates a more delicious fish with a crunchy batter coating. Super unnecessary to cut the tails/fins off and I've never seen anyone scale smelt, ridiculous.
Don't listen to this idiot. Corn starch acts as a layer that help contain the moisture within the fish. It's basic science. Plus the point is to taste and eat the fish not some thick ass batter....
Unnecessarily long video. We dont need to see you pat dry the smelts with paper towels for 1 minute. Same with the other steps. Whole video could have been edited to 2 minutes max.

First time I've seen someone attempt to scale them. They look delicious but I think the tail is the best part
And the head too 😋
Thanks for doing this recipe. Haven’t seen this on other channels. I love eating these in dim sum restaurants.
Hope you enjoy it and thank you for stopping by! 😊
“Fishes”😂

What about the splina (spine with little barbs)? Choking hazard? My gram always pulled those out and filetted the smelts.
Thank you for the tip! and Thanks for stopping by.
Good, thx.
Can you eat them whole, with the bones? Looks delicious 🤤
Yes the bones cook out

This recipe is for a very crispy end result. If you don't like the recipe, you should consider creating your own
Your attitude sucks ass
