Oh, what a delicious fish! I’ve never tried smelt before, I haven’t seen anything on our shelves. Shura, are there a lot of seeds in it, or are they very delicate and not particularly noticeable??

It is very tasty and is sold only in the period April - May, there are bones, as in all fish, but they are very easy to separate and are not rough, thin and soft. It also contains a lot of caviar. The taste is inimitable, it is completely different from any other fish, but the price matches the red one)))

Amazingly delicious fish!!! On Sakhalin it’s like dirt; our friends pass it on to us salty. But I haven’t seen it on sale here, I would love to fry it according to Shurochka’s recipe!!!
