I love smelts! They are traditionally prepared very, very simply with nothing but a flour dredge. This process will also work for small, thin fish filets (though for a crispier fish and chipsstyle coating, refer to the recipe for fried fish in my first book, The Food Lab).

This chicken recipe is simple and delicious. You can follow along with the video, or if you want a fully written recipe, you can get it by supporting me on Patreon:   / kenjilopezalt
