I was thinking fish and went back in my mind to the lake shore in Chicago, the rocks off Montrose Harbor on Lake Michigan. Many people fished there with nets, where normally net fishing is illegal, except for one certain fish.
We all know little fish as anchovies and sardines. But these folks were after smelt.
I have never had smelt. Apparently, you can not get it in stores, except maybe as herring, which I believe is a type of smelt. Correct me, if I am wrong.
Smelt can be eaten whole or pan fried.
Smelt is not just a great lakes fish. It has varieties in the colder ocean regions, North Atlantic, North Pacific and yes, South Pacific to for what I have heard, be favored in New Zealand.
Can any member share their experience with smelt?
Another small fish that might be worth a yarn, is grunion.
