Preparation

1. Prepare the Aioli

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, squid ink, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

2. Prepare the Smelts

Rinse the smelts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

3. Coat the Smelts

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each smelt in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

4. Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

5. Fry the Smelts

Working in batches, fry the smelts for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve

Serve the fried smelts hot, accompanied by the squid ink aioli for dipping.
