aka "white rice fish." Bowl Kee makes this salt and pepper dusted course VERY well, with each thick thread (think almost like a shoestring French fry) independently coated in a non-greasy crisp batter, each fish a protein rich French fry! Addictive, incredibly delicious. Again, I always seem to clear the remainders on the plate. Yum.

State Listed as Endangered in Connecticut; Special Concern in New Hampshire
The rainbow smelt is a common fish in the northeast, it’s popular as food. They are rather small, generally measuring between 6 and 10 inches in length and weighing between 1 and 6 ounces. Mostly silver with a green back, they have a pretty, iridescent pink-purple-blue shine when fresh, and are said to smell like cucumbers. Smelt are spring spawners, spawning in fresh water and only at night. Young smelt eat zooplankton and adults eat mostly small crustaceans and fish, while they themselves are a favorite among predators such as striped bass, bluefish, birds, and marine mammals. Rainbow smelt are schooling fish and popular among anglers for the chance to catch many in one day and their reported fine taste, particularly when fried.
Concerns about rainbow smelt populations in Connecticut were first raised in the 1980s, seemingly related to chlorination and sewage pollution in the runs. Fishermen noticed that after sewage treatment plants started chlorinating effluent year-round, it was the last year significant smelt runs occurred.
An additional threat to the Rainbow Smelt is that they are weak swimmers and cannot overcome most fish ladders or jump low dams. This prevents them from making it past the dams to the headwater streams where they spawn. The rise in erosion and dams helped to decimate the smelt population in the 1980s. The North Atlantic and Atmospheric Administration is currently supporting two removals or updating of dams/bridges in New England. In Connecticut 1300 of the 4000 dams listed as high, significant and moderate hazard class dams. There is a Damn Safety Program overseen by the Department of Energy and Environmental Program, though recent online listings are not up to date. In 2017 the Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) removed three outdated damn, restoring more than 120 miles of stream. The CRC hopes to continue to remove 3 to 4 damns in Vermont and New Hampshire. There are hopes this can be influential on the rest of New England.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

The Quincy Smelter processed copper pulled from the Earth by local mining companies from 1898-1957. The mines are all gone, and the smelting works have been unused for many years.
