Biology[ | ]

Sprat includes fish of two genera:

Sprats

• Baltic or Black Sea sprat ( Sprattus sprattus
  )

Tulki

• Abrau sprat (Abrau sprat) [ source not specified 1241 days
  ] (
  Clupeonella abrau
  )
• Anchovy sprat ( Clupeonella engrauliformis
  )
• Big-eyed sprat ( Clupeonella grimmi
  )
• Caspian sprat ( Clupeonella delicatula
  and
  Clupeonella cultriventris
  )

Sprat are small fish. On average they have a length of 10 cm, sometimes reaching a length of 17 cm[1] and a weight of up to 50 grams.

They live in flocks in both fully salted and desalinated water. Sprat stay near the surface close to the shore. For spawning they come even closer to the shore. They feed on plankton.

The name of the fish is associated with the presence of spiny scales on its abdomen, forming a keel, which makes the fish more streamlined and less noticeable from below. They have pelagic eggs. The sprat produces from 6 to 14 thousand floating eggs.

Sprat live 3-4 years. They mature in the second year of life.

Fresh frozen sprat cutlets through a meat grinder with fried onions

Cooking time: 50-60 minutes

Number of servings: 10

Ingredients

• fresh frozen sprat – 1 kg;
• onion (large head) – 1 pc.;

Fishing[ | ]

Sprat is of great commercial importance.

It is one of the most important commercial fish in the Baltic (10-20% of all catches), North and Norwegian seas and, to a lesser extent, in the Mediterranean and Black seas. Sprat production is carried out by Ukraine, Georgia, Russia, Norway, Denmark, Latvia, Bulgaria, and the republics of the former Yugoslavia. The catch is about 600 thousand tons annually.

Sprat is caught with purse seines and fixed seines, and various traps.

Sprat is eaten in the form of canned food (sprat [2], sprats) or in smoked, salted and spicy-salted form.

A significant amount of sprat is used to make fishmeal.

A mountain of cutlets from a can of sprat and a glass of rice

Delicious and inexpensive cutlets that can be served hot or cold. You can even do it without a side dish. And the recipe is simple!

I often cook these cutlets from sardine or tuna. But once I tried it with sprat - and we really liked it!

The sprat can be chopped with a fork, and the onion can be finely chopped. But I make it simpler - I grind everything in a blender. If there is a lot of liquid in the sprat, it is better to drain it.

I pre-boil the rice in salted water. You can use leftover rice from dinner, for example.

I add an egg to the rice.

I also send sprat and onions here. You can add spices and salt. But we have enough canned spices))

I mix it all up. If it’s a bit runny, add a little flour (or semolina). And I let the “test” stand for 15 minutes.

Then I form the cutlets. And I roll them in breadcrumbs.

You can use semolina or flour as a breading. But I like it best in breadcrumbs.

Fry the cutlets over low heat on both sides until they are golden brown.

Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

From a can of sprat and a glass of rice you get this mountain of cutlets:

It’s delicious both hot and cold! You can use any canned food. You can also replace rice with oatmeal or bulgur - also an interesting taste.

Salad “Very Unusual”

I want to share with you an interesting recipe. All its interestingness lies in one ingredient, which is very rarely used in salads. I found the recipe on another culinary site, but I just changed its presentation a little.

Ingredients for “Very Unusual Salad”:

• Canned fish (sprat in tomato sauce, it is better to take good quality canned food) - 1 can.
• Carrots (large) - 1 pc.
• Onion (large) - 1 pc.
• Chicken egg - 2-3 pcs
• Sour cream (for sauce) - 5-6 tbsp. l.
• Soy sauce (for sauce) - 2 tsp.
• Cucumber (half for decoration, fresh) - 1/2 pcs.

Recipe for “Very Unusual Salad”:

Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, finely chop the onion and fry together until soft. Boil the eggs. For the sauce: mix sour cream with soy sauce (here you can focus on your taste).

The author prepared the salad on a common platter, and I decided to serve it in portions. To do this, I took a small salad bowl of suitable size, laid everything out in layers, and then turned it over. But I was too lazy to line it with cling film, so I had to tinker a little, but oh well, let's get back to the salad. I will have two servings of salad, so all the ingredients need to be mentally divided into 4 parts. Mash the sprat with a fork and place 1/4 of it on the bottom of the salad bowl.

Place 1/4 of the fried and cooled onion and carrots on top. Spread liberally with sour cream sauce.

Grate the egg on a coarse grater and place half on top of the sauce. Then again sprat, onions with carrots and sauce.

Now you need to take the plate on which we will serve the dish and carefully turn the salad over (this is where cling film would be very useful). Sprinkle the remaining grated egg on top and garnish with cucumber slices. And you can treat yourself! The salad turns out very juicy, tasty, and the sour cream sauce is absolutely the bomb!!!

BON APPETIT!!!
