Just send it up to us mate...I'll cook it for you ;)

Seriously, beat a couple of eggs, add about 1tbsp flour just to bind it, salt and pepper, then stir in whitebait.
Cook over medium heat in a little butter (or oil, but butter is best) till golden brown.Turn and cook the other side too... Mmmmm
Enjoy...lucky bastard....

Do I remove the heads and tails too? I've never had to fillet a fish before.

Of course. You will need a VERY sharp knife.
Oh...and small too.
;)

PS...You might be best using a razor blade...it's very fiddly, but worth it.
If you think that sounds like a lot of hassle, just see the first line of YT's post.

Not with just a little baking powder to crispy it up a bit?


Cook over medium heat in a little butter (or oil, but butter is best) till golden brown.Butter AND oil is the shiz. Put oil in first and heat it, add the same amount of butter, wait until it stops foaming, and slosh it around a bit, then in go the dollops of batter.

Gah, thats just too yummy to contemplate. :pinch:

edit: for something different, try draining them and tossing in flour and then just fry them in hot oil/butter until almost crispy.

Also, Omelette them - 2 eggs whisked, butter and a light sprinkle of chicken salt in hot pan, in goes egg mixture, do omelette stir, hiff 'bait in, flip closed, heat through.. eat with parsely garnish and tomato pieces.

If ya don't know how to fry whitebait chances are you are going to waste it.
Give it to YT.

[caseye]

Maha! SHAME on Ewe! Whitebait fritters is nearly as Kiwi as Watties Tomato Sauce!
Um, last time I saw YT's symbol for gender she wasn't a he! Oh I do feel sorry for you young fella?

[Hitcher]

With whitebait fritters, either add a little garlic to the butter that goes in the pan or grease the pan with a cut clove.

A little fresh lemon juice squeezed atop prior to eating also adds a bit of zing to them.
