experimaents with smelt
Jul. 1st, 2008 10:01 pmso, visited the big asian market again on Saturday. Bought more coconut milk and seaweed (nuri) and two pounds of smelt out of curiosity.
I cleaned the smelt and put a piece of tinfoil down on the grill and attempted to grill them. If you should try this i would recomend oiling the tinfoil. The fish stuck to the tinfoil and i had to scrape them off and ended with a big plate of fish bits instead of the crispy tiney fish that the guy ion the internet described. In addition i didn't find the flavor particularly pleasant. All in all a dissapointing end to several hours of work. We ended going out for burgers.
Next time i get the urge to grill fish, i think i'll just buy a catfish.
