Ingredients
12 oz smelt, thawed if frozen
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 finely grated lemon peel
1 vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon wedges
1 lemon peel strips (opt)
1 fresh dill sprig (opt)
Cooking Directions:
Rinse smelt under cold running water. Pat dry on paper towels.
In a plastic bag, combine flour, salt, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika and lemon peel. Add smelt and shake well until fish are evenly coated. Half fill a deep-fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 375'F. (190'C.) or until a 1/2" cube of day-old bread browns in 40 seconds.
Place 1/2 of smelt in a frying basket. Lower basket gradually into hot oil and fry 1 minute, shaking basket frequently. Drain on paper towels. Reheat oil to 375'F. (190'C.). Repeat with remaining smelt. Place all of smelt into basket and fry 1-2 minutes more or until lightly golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Turn into a warm serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges. Garnish with lemon peel strips and dill sprigs, if desired.
