About Smelt
Smelt is a small, oily fish commonly found in freshwater and coastal waters of the Northern Hemisphere. Known for its mild flavor and delicate texture, smelt is widely enjoyed in cuisines such as Japanese, Scandinavian, and North American, often prepared grilled, fried, or baked. Rich in essential nutrients, smelt is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, as well as high-quality protein, vitamins B12 and D, and minerals like calcium and selenium. Its small size allows for consumption of the whole fish, offering additional nutritional benefits like calcium from the bones. Smelt is relatively low in calories and saturated fat, making it a healthy choice for many diets. However, it may contain higher levels of sodium when preserved or seasoned, so portion control is key. For a versatile and nutrient-packed seafood option, smelt is a flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
