Smelt (Smelt), n.
[AS. smelt, smylt; akin to Dan. smelt.]
1. (Zo?l.) Any one of numerous species of small silvery salmonoid fishes of the genus Osmerus and allied genera, which ascend rivers to spawn, and sometimes become landlocked in lakes. They are esteemed as food, and have a peculiar odor and taste.
^ The most important species are the European smelt (Osmerus eperlans) (called also eperlan, sparling, and spirling), the Eastern American smelt (O. mordax), the California smelt (O. thalichthys), and the surf smelt (Hypomesus olidus). The name is loosely applied to various other small fishes, as the lant, the California tomcod, the spawn eater, the silverside.

It's a kind of fish and also the stuff recovered from the process of melting down stuff like iron.
OK quick explanation is smelting is the process of combining metal ores to create another metal with different properties.
it means when you smell something, then you have smelt it.
Definitions of smelt on the Web:
small cold-water silvery fish; migrate between salt and fresh water
small trout-like silvery marine or freshwater food fishes of cold northern waters
extract (metals) by heating
little fish,that look like sardines.:)
that you have smelled something!
smelt is a fish variety, the ones in Japanese cuisine is a pregnant fish small,sweet and lots of roe.in fact almost the whole body of the fish is it's roe.
The noun smelt has 2 meanings:

Smelts are a family Osmeridae of small anadromous fish. They are common in the North American Great Lakes, and run in large schools along the coastline during their spring migration to their spawning streams. The family consists of some 16 species in six genera.
The fish usually reach only 6 inches (15 cm) and are a food source for salmon and lake trout. It is one of the few fish that sportsmen are allowed to net, using gill nets, either along the coastline or in the streams. Some sportsmen also ice fish for smelt. Smelt are often fried and eaten whole.
Smelt roe is bright orange in color, and is often used to garnish sushi.
The Boy's Own Book of Outdoor Sports (early 1900s) adds:
In the United States this fish seldom exceeds ten inches in length, and the usual size is from five to eight inches. In South America they can grow to the length of two feet, are semi-transparent, and are most delicious eating. Some of them caught by American sailors at the Straits of Magellan were thirty inches long by eight inches round the body. The smelt is exceedingly plentiful in the waters around Boston, and they are also taken in the rivers of New Jersey and the ponds of Long Island. They are of a pale green color on the back, with silvery sides, and a satin band running along the sides. They may be called a sea fish, though they run up fresh water streams in the spring to spawn. They are caught in October and November, and in the winter months by breaking holes in the ice. The tackle used for the smelt is a silk, or silk and hair line, with Limerick trout hooks Nos. 2 to 5, on single gut leaders. The sinker should be pretty heavy to overcome the tide. Shrimp bait is generally used, or small pieces of minnow or frog will answer. If you wish to fish them through a hole in the ice, take a piece of small brass wire a foot and a half long, put it through a piece of lead for a sinker, and fasten your hooks at both ends. Tie on a cotton or flax line and then drop your hooks. You can use three or four of these lines at different holes, setting them, while you are either skating or running round to keep warm. In this way you will get a fine string of smelts in a short time. Smelts will live, breed and thrive when transferred to fresh water ponds; and by some people these fresh water smelt are considered the best eating. They live a long time out of water and hence are good eating after being carried long distances.
Smelts were traditionally an important winter catch in the salt water mouths of rivers in New England and the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Fishermen would go to customary locations over the ice using horses and sleighs. Smelt taken out of the cold salt water were much preferred to those taken in warm water. The smelt did not command a high price on the market, but provided a useful supplemental income in times when wants were much less.The smelts were "flash frozen" simply by leaving them on the ice and then sold to fish buyers who came down the rivers on horse and sleigh. They were also an excellent winter meal. They were gutted, heads and tails removed and rinsed in cold water then dipped in flour mixed with salt and pepper and fried in butter. Served with boiled potatoes and pickled beets, they were a welcome addition to winter fare.
On the Maine coast, smelts were also a sign of spring, with the run of these small fish up tiny tidal estuaries. Many of these 'rivres' were small enough that a person could straddle the water and, leaning over, dip a bucket and get a good catch of smelt. This was a nighttime operation, and people might line up to get their time over the stream. Served with head and tail removed, salt and pepper, and often a dusting of cornmeal before frying.
Smelts are also found in the waters of Puget Sound in Washington State and in certain tributaries of the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon. They are caught by means of dip nets in the rivers, smelt rakes on the salt water shorelines or by jigging from docks and boats.
Chemical reduction, or smelting, is a form of extractive metallurgy. The main use of smelting is to produce iron and steel from iron ore. Smelting is also used to extract copper and other base metals from their raw ores.
It makes use of a chemical reducing agent such as carbon (coke, or in earlier times charcoal) to change the oxidation state of the metal ore. When coke is mixed with iron ore and heated, the oxygen will move from the iron to the carbon. The iron will be reduced, and the carbon will be oxidised, producing carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. A fluxing agent such as limestone is used to remove the accompanying rock gangue as slag (also called scoria or cinder).
The earliest evidence to date for the bloomery smelting of iron is found at Tell Hammeh, Jordan, and dates to 930 CalBC (C14 dating). However, based on the archaeological record of iron artefacts, it is clear that intentional reduction of iron metal from terrestrial ores (in the case of Hammeh a Haematite ore), must have started near the end of the [Late Bronze Age] (ca. 1600-1150 BC). Where and how iron smelting was 'invented' is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds. Nevertheless, there is some consensus that iron technology originates in the Near East, perhaps in Eastern Anatolia.
In Ancient Egypt somewhere between the Third Intermediate Period and 23rd Dynasty (1100 BC - 750 BC) there are indications of iron working. Significantly though, no evidence for the smelting of iron from ore has been attested in Egypt in any period. There are further indications of iron smelting and working in West Africa in 500 BC [1].
The process of smelting became widely used during the Industrial Revolution, when it was used extensively in the production of iron and steel using the blast furnace (as opposed to a bloomery furnace).
