Capelin are tiny fish that "roll in" on beaches in late June or July to lay their eggs. These fish travel in huge schools and provide food to whales, seabirds, larger fish and people. When they roll in, people catch them with nets. They are tasty little fish that may be dried, pan-fried, deep-fried, or barbecued. Many people also use them to fertilize vegetable gardens.
