It’s Fish Fact Friday babe can you speak on smelts?
Hi! Yes! Rainbow smelt (scientific name osmerus mordax) when removed from the water, smell like freshly cut cucumbers! This is what inspired their name to be smelt.

We took a friend smelting for the first time in her life and while having a cigarette she spotted one alone in the shallows so she just reached down and picked it up.
She caught her first smelt with her bare hand, with a cigarette in the other.
Christmas tradition; fried smelts
7/23/22 Lobster traps outside of Boston. on a Pier at Newick's Lobster house in Dover NH! This place we learned has some family history and so we decided to carry on the family tradition and stop for some seafood. This place is unique in every way, It was a fun experience and a beautiful evening! 🐟 @newickslobsterhouses #newickslobsterhouse #newhampshire #smelts #seafood #newengland #yashicat4 #fujifilm #filmphotography (at Newick's Lobster House) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDcNaTP3bI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
