redbird: closeup photo of an apricot (apricot)

Today's lunch was sprats: more specifically, "smoked Riga sprats in oil." I liked them.

The label tells me that the ingredients are sprats and vegetable oil (either rapeseed or soybean, and salt, and that they are imported from Latvia. So, small fish (smaller than sardines in fact), with skin and tails (I didn't eat the tails). I suspect there are some bones in there, too. The taste is closer to tinned sardines (fish plus vegetable oil) than to most smoked fish, but I think the smoking process added something.

I may look for these again: they were an impulse purchase, found next to the cash register at a market I go to every few months.
