pickled Herring

[Kent Hunter]

Exactly what NRA4LIFE said about the smelt. I actually like them a bit better than the herring. They are both scrumptious though. When I was a young guy working at Jorgensen Steel there was a Latvian guy that would pickle smelt for me. He would pickel the whole limit for me and we would split it 50/50.

Yup, we would make gallon jars full of them back in WI.  Sometimes on Lake Michigan we'd get garbage cans full of them (no limits at the time) and you just could not fry that many all the time.
