Fried Silversides Anyone???

[Mike P]

I'd bet you that fried, they taste a lot like smelt

They are Excellant....................

Stripers don't eat them because they taste bad.

I've had a number of silverside feasts at my house. No need to deal with the guts as long as they're a couple of hours old...just fry em' up in very hot oil and salt and pepper to taste. If you like smelts you'll go nuts over spearing.

I recommend washing them down with blueberry ale. Bass ale works fine in a pinch.

Fried smelt are one of the best appetizers I ever tasted.So if silversides are even better, ive got to try this. They certainly look clean enough .

Thats how I keep my sanity in the Winter.....A Smelt trip up to the camps in Maine...Its a blast

White Buckets and Budweiser...Gets my googan fix in.

Bring up a grill, cook up some tips and drink some frosties

Clammer,

Take a couple of pictures and then turn them in. There is a limit and I believe it's only a quart or so a person. Lock em' up!
