Instructions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Sift the flour and mix with a pinch of coarse (preferably sea) salt and dried garlic. Coat the dry and clean smelt on all sides in the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Heat a deep skillet and pour in flavorless sunflower oil. The smelt should keep the scent of cucumber and fish, not oil. Arrange the flour-dusted fish on the skillet in a single neat layer.

    Step 4

    Fry the fish over medium heat for 2 minutes on one side until golden brown. Then flip each fish and brown on the other side. The total frying time for smelt is 4–5 minutes.
