Never have liked those things..... probably has something to do with cleaning several 5 gal buckets full of them when I was a kid with my dad.

Pair of sissors.... clip the head.... then up the belly.... run your finger through the middle to get some of the guts out.... throw them into the clean bucket of water. Think I may have done that a few million times spring of 1981.

I do like smelt, and I probably eat a couple dozen a year, but to clean just one five gallon pail would be a bit much for any one....

I did a gallon as a kid and thought that was excessive, especialy when we didnt get to eat them.... I think I was in my mid twenties before I et my first smelt.

we had them with deap fried store bought button shrooms
