Directions

  1. Whisk together flour and salt in a pie plate. Dredge smelt in flour mixture, coating both the outside and cavity of the fish.

  2. Heat oil in a frying pan 1/4-inch deep over medium heat until hot. Place fish in the hot oil, fry until crisp and firm, 2 to 3 minutes each side. Remove fish with a slotted spoon, drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
