Smelts are very seasonal and a phenomenal Whole Presentation. When properly prepared, Smelts are a true delicacy and can be eaten bones and all. These are a fish lovers' fish. Great flavor with complex ocean and earthy tones. An abundance of oils give the smelt a "melt in your mouth" texture. Treat Smelts in culinary applications similar to large Anchovy and Sardine. Roast, Smoke, Pickle, Broil

The "Tenderloin" and "Tri-Tip" are two very unique Cheek Cuts that is sure to make your guests very happy.
