Whitebait

Whitebait

Ref: 2086

Quantity:




Breaded or unbreaded whitebait?


Everybody knows whitebait, but it's good for you as well as being so familiar! Flour them or coat in a very light batter, then deep fry. You can also choose ready breaded whitebait that just needs deep frying or more healthy baking in the oven.

"Deep fried whitebait" without the deep frying

Buy our breaded whitebait, One bag will make four smaller starters or two large starters or two light meals.
You'll need a very hot oven (240°C), and one or two baking trays covered with baking parchment.
Spread a thin layer of breaded whitebait on the baking trays, without overlapping the fish. Sprinkle some olive oil on the fish or use one of those oil sprayers. Don't overdo it, the aim is to be as healthy as possible, so as little oil as possible.
Bake the whitebait for 5 minutes, then use a fish slice to turn them over. Bake for a further 10 or 15 minutes, until they are lightly browned.
Tip briefly onto some kitchen paper, then serve immediately with large wedges of lemon and brown bread and butter - a salad will make this starter into a light meal!
