Little fish, big salad
On Culinate this month:
Small Fry: Little fish are tasty, fun, and good for you
Delicious, fresh, local fish, every morsel edible from head to tail, and they’re only $2 a pound? (The same fish counter was selling wild salmon for $28 a pound.) I made fried smelt for the family, and my daughter gobbled them like fries.
And today in Gourmet:
In short, take any Thai salad, add cooked cellophane noodles, and it becomes yam woon sen. (Unless you begin with the chopped-meat salad called larb, in which case it becomes larb woon sen.) This is good news. It means you can have a different yam woon sen on each of the remaining days of summer.

Funny stuff - I just did a post myself on the joys of fresh local smelt - mine were from Mutual Fish.
$2/lb for some seriously tasty fish - that completely works with me.
