Smelt - Dressed - 11 lbs

If you haven't had smelt in a while this is the place to go. When I lived in Chicago we would seine for smelt every year sometimes our 5 gal buckets would be full & sometimes they would be full of empty beer cans, but no matter what we enjoyed and the package from Walleye Direct are just as good. You will need to defrost into smaller packages since they come frozen in about 3-4lbs pkgs.

Your delivery day was on time. The packaging was in tact. The smelts were still frozen. We thawed some cooked them and they were delicious. I will definitely order from you again. Thank.

Packaged in convenient 1# portions

High quality shipping method, packaging and taste. Perfect!

Got a 4 instead of 5 as some pkgs were not sealed, but fish is excellent.

My dad and his friends used to fish for smelt off of the Great Lakes. My mom used to pan fry them at family parties. We did the same with these smelt - and they were amazing!

these were the best smelt I have had in a very long time. Lately when I buy them here in the store they seem to be very small and sometimes just bits and pieces.

I haven't had smelt in 20 plus years since I moved down south. Reminds me of the old days when we'd have it on our fish Fridays. Battered, deep fried in peanut oil, salt and pepper to taste. What an excellent delight! With 12lbs. I have enough for a long time of enjoyment.

Absolutely delicious. Enjoyed them so much. Will be ordering again.

Fish arrived promptly, frozen,and in good condition. Thawed out a pound after arrival, dry battered and fried in lard. Excellent🖒

I was very disappointed in the quality of your product. The first bag I opened the day I received them to make them for dinner, less then half of them were cut open, about a quarter of them were in pieces. We love smelts and we were so excited to have found a place in which to order them from but sadly I will not be ordering them again. They were very small in comparison to ones we got while vacationing in MI!

The Smelts were awesome, trench them in very cold “beer” batter then deep fry them in a hot oil bath for a few minutes and you’re rockin’!

everthing good

I was concerned about my purchase because it was over $100 and my first time buying with Walleye. However, the packages was very well packed and stayed perfectly frozen with the dry ice. The smelt were tasty and I'm stocked up for a few months. I'm looking forward to trying other fish.

First time ordering from your company...........exceeded expectations! Product arrived in three days and the quality was awesome. Will be ordering again in the near future. Thank you!

The smelts were good, but overall they were too small. It would be nice if in the future, you could offer a larger size in the 12 lbs, dressed. Thank you for taking time to read this. I will be ordering again.. Smelts are a big part of our Christmas Eve dinner. For future reference, can you recommend a large size dressed?

Delicious!!!

I haven’t had fresh Lake Smelt in years since we moved from Michigan to Wyoming, the freshness and flavor brought back those great memories I had as a kid waiting for my father to fry some up in his special beer badder. Thank you!

Product came as advertised and on time. I did overnight shipping and contents were frozen and showed no signs of thawing. Everything was great quality and only small complaint was the size of the fish was a little smaller than I expected but I will definitely order again. I received 12 individual packages and they are perfect meal size packages for me. They were dressed which save a lot of cleaning time. Smelt is not readily available in Houston so after 4 years of living here I was finally able to get a taste of home.

Fantastic Smelt. Clean and fresh. It was wonderful.
