When I was little, my grandmother used to make this often. She convinced me this was the exact same fish as the ones in 'five barley loaves and two small fish' the bible story. I used to eat it and think of Jesus.

Fried smelt is so good

Brought back memories when my grandmother use to cook this for us.

Fried sardines , dhal, rice and lemon achar is my favorite

Nice golden brown crispy fish with rice & dhal complements that meal together. I remember my mom making fried dry sardines these are so similar, smelt look so close to sardines Ria how did it taste? Like your style of cooking always pleasing to the eye👁😋
