Provided by ldijoe

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb. smelt, dressed
1/2 cup flour
Olive oil for frying
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Rinse the smelt and dry well with paper towels. Season with salt to taste. Dredge in flour and shake off excess. In a deep, cast iron or heavy skillet place olive oil, about 2 inches deep. Heat on high until just barely smoking, about 350 degrees. Fry the smelt in batches until crunchy and golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes, while moving the oil with the back of a heatproof slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Serve at once with lemon wedges.
