how do they differ in taste from what comes out of the tin? Not as salty?
Would like to try some fresh ones sometime.
My grandfather used to fry up the real small ones. I remember having them as a kidOne day I was pier fishing and I met this old guy who had a net in the water and was dropping cat food into the net. It really drew the spearing in and every so often he'd pull up the net and put the live spearing into a bucket. I asked him if he was catching fresh bait. He said No, he was going to eat them. He said you deep fry them in oil, guts scales and all, until they get crispy and then eat them like french fries. Anyone ever try this? Maybe one day I'll consider it.

I did it one Christmas Eve. My family was fighting over them. When I told them what they were they couldn’t believe it.One day I was pier fishing and I met this old guy who had a net in the water and was dropping cat food into the net.

You guys are beginning to convince me. Maybe next time I'll leave the rod and reel home and bring a net and a can of cat food instead.
