Why does the convicted felon hate this tiny fish so much? As Los Angeles burns, resident-elect felon Trump is yelling at a fish.

You don't get to dictate credibility for everyone. Omniscience fallacy.

Trump does not teach school. Schools are run by Democrats.

This area has a heavy Catholic presence; even the city is named after a Catholic priest, Father Marquette. So many restaurants have a Friday night fish fry all year around. One of them has a "smelt basket" with fried smelt. Wish I could remember which one it was. If I do, we'll try them there. Are they typically available all year or just in certain seasons?

We lived on the third floor of the building, and she lived on the second. Every Friday night she would come up with gribenes.

If you butcher a hen, you will find about a dozen or so egg yolks in line waiting to be expelled. Closer to the exit is a normal size yolk, shrinking to the size of a pea as you get further away. My grandmother would boil them and bring them up. We used to eat them, but they were terribly dry! We didn't know any better as kids. Surely we could have done something to make them more palatable.

Probably should have mashed them with the gribenes.

I see no reason that you couldn't get them year round.

Or put them in soup or a casserole? People sure didn't waste anything back then, did they?

I have seen them here fresh, with heads on, when that old guy was telling me how to fix 'em and that they make great bait too. Mostly though they are frozen and headless. What makes more sense -- figured out which restaurant has the smelt basket and try them there first? Or just get some and fix 'em myself? The latter option makes more financial sense. lol

As with all things food related, it takes a lot of work to prepare it but making it yourself is usually better.
 
California pays some of the highest taxes....The fire hydrants were empty. Vegetation overgrown... brush not cleared. Reservoirs were emptied by Newsom because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. The FD budget was cut by Bass... But hey...drug addicts are getting their drug kits... Illegals are pretty much fully funded...what will they do now that the city is gone... Loot and set some more fires... Let's see how strong california's are... Rebui.and get the loons out of office... Why isn't Kam in her beloved state...helping?)

There truly is nothing as good as fresh fish you caught and cleaned yourself. As kids we grew up fishing.

Mr. Owl and I have fished in Alaska a couple of times. The first time was out of Homer. We got our limit (2 each) of decent-sized halibut, around 30 lbs. each. And our limit of king salmon as well. As the boat returned to harbor the crew cleaned everyone's fish, bagged and labeled it, and put it on ice. At that point you had the option to take it all with you, or have them flash-freeze it and ship it home. A couple people (there were five of us fishing) chose to get it frozen, then pick it up on their way to the airport the next day. They checked it like you would luggage. They said it was still frozen when they got back to New York, where they were from. They fished up there every year.

At any rate, we took one halibut pkg with us and took it to a restaurant on the Spit called "Captain Patty's." They fixed it for you according to how you chose to have it prepared. I had mine broiled with dill and a light tangy dressing. OMG. Best fish I've ever had. We had ours shipped home since we had more adventures to accomplish. It was just as good till it was eaten up as it was fresh. It was gone within six months.

For most fish, freezing is fine especially if it's vacuum sealed. I don't freeze salmonids or buy it frozen as it somehow changes the taste a bit. Pale fish is fine frozen, and I'm told that halibut is the best!
