Smelt
Smelt is a variable common-name category for small fish in the smelt group, sold whole or processed, with species, freshness and preparation affecting its characteristics.
About Smelt
Smelt is a common name for small fish belonging to the smelt group, but the record does not identify a species. It is therefore a variable fish category rather than a specific species or a particular prepared seafood product.
Smelt may be sold whole or processed and used in a range of seafood preparations. Appearance, texture, and flavour depend on species, size, freshness, and cooking or preservation. The name alone does not say whether the item is raw, cooked, dried, salted, or otherwise prepared, so those forms should not be treated as identical.
