Usually I can figure out what it is and how to use it - but not always! Pretty hard to go wrong with fish, though, although I don't believe I've ever prepared any that small. But I know I've had them a similar size - smelts are often pretty small. Good post - thanks.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-1683497073401921392012-06-26T20:32:51.308-07:002012-06-26T20:32:51.308-07:00Thank you Shannon for your kind comment.

Your presentation was very pretty and I bet it would convince non fish lovers to give it a try. My family is not very adventurous and stick to several familiar ones but I am sure they would like the way you prepared this little fish. Thank you for the comments about my party. I will still be posting as usual on Cozy Home Scenes just not the party. Please continue to come by because I hope to have more time now to do more interesting things. I will check in on you to see what you are doing. ------------ ShannonShannon@Cozy Home Sceneshttp://cozyhomescenes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-68520790425319441912012-06-26T12:47:49.301-07:002012-06-26T12:47:49.301-07:00Thanks Lizzy!

I'd like to try all off those colorful foods they have there if only I knew what to do with it. :) Sometimes I would ask an old lady, who don't seem to be in a hurry and who has all kinds of fresh ingredients in her cart, what to do with one or the other. Most of the time they would gladly share their cooking wisdom. Shopping like this I learn a lot. :)Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-29772493493220504112012-06-26T12:43:27.066-07:002012-06-26T12:43:27.066-07:00I love "korushka" (smelt fish), I though...I love "korushka" (smelt fish), I though it was it too, but it didn't have that specific cucumber smell and was a bit too small. When we lived in Seattle, smelt was sold fresh (this one was frozen), and we would buy it almost every day during the season (about two months). Mmm, I miss fresh fish, and I miss Seattle... Sigh... I am glad you came today! :)Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-31093506736155170202012-06-26T12:39:51.077-07:002012-06-26T12:39:51.077-07:00That's good!
