They look like they’d be tasty, fried.

And they’d be easier to catch if they weren’t covered up by all that farmers’ water.

Species go away all the time. BFD. Get over it, Kalifornia.

I’ve both caught and eaten my share of smelt. We’d buy a new garbage can every season just to fill it to the top with smelt. We’d use nets to catch them in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.

We’d set up an assembly line (more like disassebbly) and snip-snip-shake-rinse they were clean.

They'd probably smelt in your mouth! :P
