Fried Smelts
To clean smelts, spread open outer gills, and with the forefinger take hold of the inner gills and pull gently; the parts unfit for food are all attached to these inner gills, and come away together, leaving the smelt in perfect shape. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. If smelts are small, dip in milk and roll in flour, or in egg and bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat. 1 cup salt codfish 2 cups potatoes
