Whitebait Fritters With Tomatoes
Prep Time: 10 Mins
Cook Time: 2 Mins
Alot of people go crazy here over whitebait. Its ridiculously expensive like $170 per kg. But i have good friends that love to sit all day long along river banks and catch these small fish. So when my friend had about a bag full i suggested i would come over for lunch and make them into white bait fritters.
These are super simple to make and don’t require alot of garnish as you will want the very slight taste of the white bait to come through.
Here is what they look like uncooked….
You will need a sieve or something similar to clean them with some running water. These were so fresh they even had a few pieces of twig in them straight from the river.
Ingredients
6 Eggs
1 cup of white bait
Olive Oil or Butter
Salt and Pepper To Taste
1 Tomatoe
Here are all of the ingredients laid out. White bait of course, eggs and we used some olivani spread in place of olive oil or butter.
Preparation
Place the 6 eggs into a large bowl and whisk.
Add the whitebait and then whisk a little more.
Place a fry pan on the stove and add a little oil or butter and let it melt.
Ladle in some of the mixture and allow to cook – Should only take a few minutes.
Flip over and cook for a few seconds on the reverse side.
Repeat until all of the mixture has been used.
Garnish with some fresh Tomatoes
Bon appetite. Enjoy.
