Smelt with potatoes
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Capelin can be used to make many different dishes. I suggest frying this tasty, fatty fish and serving it with boiled potato side dish. Fried capelin is, of course, incredibly delicious! Be sure to try it! You can clean the fish beforehand, removing the innards and the head, but we won't bother with that. After cooking, the insides, along with the head and backbone, can be removed in seconds, while all the juice and flavor remains inside. The dish is now ready to be served.
