lol, me too! my dad loved whole smelts. he'd crunch right through the whole thing, head, tail, fins, bones and all.
i have never tried that, but i've had cleaned (beheaded and tailed) fried smelts that were good. but crunchy fish heads???
I have to take the heads off. Here is some I cooked in Chile last year. No wait that was early this year.
