Whitebait Fritters Step By Step
May 9th 2008 08:35
Whitebait can be battered or dusted in seasoned flour and deep fried, but is most commonly served in fritters. In the following recipe and step by step pictures I have used a flour based batter, but it can be made using just egg, or egg white, making it more akin to an omelette.
Ingredients
500g Whitebait
250g Self raising flour
1 Egg
1 Shallot
1tsp Lemon pepper
Salt & pepper
Water
Method
Drain the whitebait in a colander.
Sieve the flour into a bowl.
Add the egg and a little water.
Mix into a smooth thick batter.
Combine the whitebait, batter, chopped shallot and lemon pepper in a bowl.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Spread it into a round shape with the back of the spoon.
This recipe makes about eight fritters.
Serve the fritters with lemon and tartare sauce.
Kiora!

That's okay if it isn't the, suspect?,imported Silverfish?
Which dined on sewage at a fish farm?
And gave cholera to 3 women,who ate it raw.
Do you often eat raw fish?
Skin needs some marinating in lemon or vinegar etc.
It is amazing to see fin fish skin expand,and soften, a huge amount after a short time in vinegar.
It seems to absorb the vinegar liquid and so expands.

It is sold in the freezers in those shops as 'Silverfish', which is imported from China.
Also try the major supermarkets.
Maybe about $7/kg.
In Australia 'whitebait' is sold fresh, but is actually small sprats, so isn't the typical glassy tiny fish.
In Australia the whitebait has been fished out so it isn't allowed to be sold anymore.
