Ahh, ya got me on the smelt. I remember getting them by the buckets full in my younger days. They always seemed to me to taste like a oil slick. Maybe if caught elsewhere than Lake Michigan they would have been better. Wouldn't mind trying some now. It has been probably 30+ years since I have had them. Never forget the time my dad snuck me into uss and our group filled 2 trash cans in about 1 hour. Using a sein net with waders, by their discharge. We would literally take buckets full out of each pass. Back in the day. Memories
