The European sprat, (Sprattus sprattus), also known as bristling, brisling or skipper, is a small, herring-like, marine fish.
Found in European waters, it has silver grey scales and white-grey flesh and measures about 10 cm.
This small oily fish has around 12% fat in its flesh and is a source of many vitamins and high in omega 3.
We make cold smoked sprat & cold smoked sprat filet (if the size of the sprat allows us to do so). Smoked sprats are a real delicacy and have been known since our ancestors in Belgium and the North of France.
In Flanders it has been labelled as a recognised local product (Streekproduct).
