2 lb Smelt (cleaned)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
2 tbl butter
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
2 tbl water
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup oil (approx. for frying - may use any type of oil)
Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and set aside. Mix the eggs and water in another bowl and set aside. Place bread crumbs in a bowl and set aside. Dip each smelt first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally into the bread crumbs. Place the breaded smelt on a rack for 15 mins. to dry. Place a heavy skillet on very hot coals. Melt the butter in the skillet and add enough oil to fry the smelt in. Fry the smelt, a few at a time, for approx. 2 mins. per side (times will vary according to how hot the coals are - make sure the fish is fully cooked before serving!). Drain on paper towels. Serve with some type of sauce on the side (i.e. cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, honey mustard, bbq sauce, etc
