Not sure if you have access to a good place that smokes fish but you may want to give it a try. I really enjoy it and find my body craves the oil. Smoked lake trout is my favorite because its very oily and to me tastes delicious. It can be a little salty though if you have to watch your salt intake.

You can get it with head on and skin so you can tell what kind it is. Also if you ever do try it, try to get a whole one smoked with bone in. Something about leaving the bone in makes it have a slightly different texture and taste, to me at least.

One other thing is make sure its smoked well, meaning if it isnt smoked long enough it can be too moist. I wouldnt want anyone to try it and sort of get a soggy smoked fish lol. Nothing "wrong" with it but I think its better eating.

Edit..person who posted about smoked sardines just made me so hungry! never had em and its going on list, thanks for suggestion!
