Stuffed Sardines or Surf Smelt
These are so tasty they've been featured in the New York Times! (that's us!)
Fried Night Smelt (or, fries with eyes!)
Fresh, sparkling night smelt - what a treat! If you've ever dipped for these yourself you know how magical these little creatures are and how they smell a little bit like cucumber fresh from the sea. (Photo courtesy of Viola Toniolo)
Bacon wrapped Herring
Can you tell this one’s going to be a winner? It’s like candy, dear god, and it should probably be illegal. I eat them whole, bones and all. (okay, not the tippy tail or the head, but you could!!)
