Whoever smelt the Delta Smelt dealt it...and it smells like cucumbers! This uniquely odoriferous fish may be small, but don't irk your fish nerd friends by calling it "just a minnow" (because it's an Osmerid, not a Leuciscid).
What else is cool about this fish? Delta Smelt are endemic to the San Francisco Bay Delta estuary. Meaning they're found nowhere else in the world. Catch the latest episode of our Fish of the Week! podcast to learn more about this amazing fish and its delta home: http://ow.ly/MXBj50HG4W2
