Freeze-Dried Smelt Fish — Small Fish, Big Fish Energy!

A little fishy. A little fragile. A whole lot of flavor.

Meet Clumsy Chef Freeze-Dried Smelt Fish Treats—made with 100% real smelt fish and absolutely nothing else.

These little fish are dehydrated in small batches to preserve their naturally rich seafood flavor and delicate, crispy texture. Packed with naturally occurring protein and omega-3 fatty acids, smelt makes a flavorful treat for dogs and cats, with nutrients that contribute to healthy skin and coat maintenance.

No fillers. No preservatives. No mystery ingredients. Just fish being fish.

🐟 A Little Fragile? That's Just How We Roll.

Here's the thing about dehydrated smelt: it's naturally very delicate and crumbly.

Unlike firm biscuits or chewy treats, whole dehydrated ish can easily break apart during packaging, shipping, or handling.

Some fish may arrive whole. Others might be missing a tail, a head, or a few pieces.

Broken fish and crumbs are completely normal!

The best part? Those little fishy bits make an excellent food topper. Simply sprinkle them over your dog's or cat's regular meals for an extra burst of seafood flavor.

Whole fish, half fish, fish confetti. It's all delicious.

A Little Fishy Business

Smelt has a naturally strong, oily seafood aroma.

That's completely normal! We're working with real fish here, not fish-flavored cookies. And while that smell might make humans raise an eyebrow, it's exactly the kind of thing many fish-loving dogs and cats get excited about.

Your pet thinks it's gourmet. Your nose might disagree.

Treat It. Top It. Crumble It.

Whole Fish: Serve an appropriately sized piece as an occasional crunchy reward.

Little Fish: Break into smaller pieces for training or smaller mouths.

Fish Crumbs: Sprinkle the broken pieces over kibble or wet food to tempt picky eaters.

The fish might fall apart. The flavor doesn't.

From Our Clumsy Kitchen

We're Clumsy Chef—a small-batch pet treat kitchen inspired by Bowser, our miniature Schnauzer and very opinionated head taste-tester.

We might be clumsy, but we're serious about ingredients.

And sometimes, that means making treats that are a little imperfect. A broken fish here, a few crumbs there.

Because real food doesn't always arrive looking picture-perfect.

Stay clumsy. Eat happy. 🐾
