My Newfie grandmother's smelt recipe. They're like little fishy french fries!

1 cup all-purpose flour

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The smelts are crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside.

The smelts were good, but the batter was a little too thick for my taste.
