This recipe is from a local Japanese restaurant. Smelt is delicious and very reasonably priced. Cook the whole fish and eat from head to tail. The bones are soft enough to eat and a great source of calcium. Ingredients:
1 lb fresh whole smelt |
1 sweet onion |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon flour |
salt and pepper, to taste |
daikon sprouts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Finely slice a sweet onion. In a bowl, mix olive oil, rice vinegar and the onion slices.
2. Lightly season the smelt with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the smelt.
3. In a large frying pan, grease a skillet with vegetable oil and sauté smelt on both sides for about 3-4 minutes each.
4. Serve the sautéed smelt with marinated onion on the side. Mix the onion with daikon sprouts for color.
