Fried Whitebait
Whitebait are a great little starter dish with fantastic flavour but minimalist effort to make. I myself prefer the smaller whitebait as they tend to be much more crunchier and tastier.

- 1
Wash and prepare the whitebait. Dab with kitchen roll to remove any excess water and place in a bowl.
- 2
Sprinkle with salt, add as much as you prefer. Leave in the fridge for 30+ minutes to absorb some of the salt.
- 3
In a shallow bowl add a good amount of flour.
- 4
You can deep fry the whitebait however I chose to do mine in a shallow fry. So if shallow frying pour about 200-300 ml of oil into a frying pan and heat on a medium to high heat.
- 5
Coat the fish evenly in the flour and carefully drop into the hot oil as you go along.
- 6
Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- 7
Dab with kitchen roll to absorb some of the oil.
- 8
Optional: sprinkle with the fish with the lemon juice, serve with mayonnaise.
- 9
Serve almost immediately. It's great as a starter.
