An«al smelt season brings new fish appreciation
It’s spring - and every springtime men,
women, and children across the country
go a little crazy
smelt crazy, that is.
Thousands of them line the banks of
rivers, lakes, and tributaries, slipping
and sliding along the edge of the icy
water while they dip for smelt with nets,
pans, buckets, or any containers at hand.
Many of the more avid smelters stay on
through the night, illuminating their
activities with lanterns or flashlights and
building bonfires or using portable heat
ers to take off the chill. Why? These
pleasantly pixilated folk insist that they
are having a whale of a lot of fun! They
are right, smelting is fun for the partici
pants and the unbelievably large amount
of smelt caught also provides great eating
to satisfy the appetite, please the palate,
ind ease the budget. Tired but happy,
he smelters watch the early dawn and
.hen return home where the fish are
•leaned and froien for future use.
If you. like many others, dip your own
smelt, or if you do your dipping at the
eafood market or froien seafood count-
»r, now is the time to dip and enjoy.
Commercial fishermen have smelt mania
n the springtime too, and they are
ceeping the markets supplied. These
lilvery little fish are caught all the way
rom the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the
Virginia Capes, in the mighty Columbia
•liver and its tributaries, and in the Great
^akes. Because of today's quick freezing
ind transportation methods, smelt are
ivailable everywhere.
Smelt have delicate, sweet flavored
flesh and contain a pleasant oil that aids
digestion. These small fish carry a big
protein punch to make them valuable
nutritionally as well as good eating. The
average size is from 7 to 8 inches and the
average weight is 10 to 11 smelt to the
pound.
Many of the smelt caught,
however, are finger sized, just big
enough for 2 to 3 bites.
Any size,
however, adapts readily to Sauce Smelt,
a versatile recipe from the National
Marine Fisheries Service. Dip the fish
into tomato sauce, then into a Parmesan
cheese flour mixture before deep fat fry
ing fot approximately 3 to 4 minutes. If
the tender-crisp smelt are the larger
ones, serve as an entree with your choice
of sauces. If the smelt are finger sized,
they are just right for hors d'oeuvres
with cocktail sauce. No matter which
size, this quick and easy way to enjoy
smelt is bound to be a hit with any age
group - from teeny hoppers to teenagers
and all the way up through the geriatric
group. Join the happy smelters today --
smelt are fun to catch but even more fun
to eat.

Home sewers have more fabrics intend
ed for physical fitness and outdoor
activities to choose from.
Some specific fabrics that are suitable
for sweatshirts and jogging suits are a
100 percent acrylic with a fuzzy sweat
shirt back, a thermal double knit with
polyester on the front side and cotton the
back, and a velour of triacetate and nylon.
When sewing these fabrics at home,
attention should be given to the seams,
according to Ardis Koester, Oregon State
University Extension textiles and cloth
ing specialist.
Seams that require strength without
stretch, such as shoulder seams, may be
double stitched by sewing them as
flat felled seams or topstitched welt
seams. If the fabric is very bulky or
tends to curt use a double stitched seam.
For the double stitching there are
several alternatives depending on the
possibilities of your sewing machine The
alternatives include two lines of straight
stitching 1/8 inch apart, or a line of
straight stitching and zigzagging, blind
stitching or overedge stitching. V ery
stretchy fabrics may need tape stitched
in with the seam.
In some seams it may be desirable to
maintain the stretch of the fabric. For
these seams a zigzag seam, an overedge
stitched seam, or an elastic straight stitch

fa desirable. If your machine does not do
any of these stitches you may wish to
stitch for about 2-3 inches (5-8 cm), cut
the thread, continue the seam by overlap
ping with the previous stitching for 5/8
inch (1.5 cm), then sew again for about
2-3 inches (5-8 cm) and so on.
This overlapping stitching allows for
the seam to stretch without breaking the
thread, but does not have the recovery
from stretch that some of the specialty
stitches have.
