Whitebait \n<\/b><\/span>Serves 4<\/p>\n Every year, when the whitebait start to run up the rivers on the pristine West Coast, our suppliers turn up at the kitchen door. We think West Coast whitebait is the best, but any will do.<\/p>\n
200 g whitebait \n60 g olive oil \n5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced \n3 dried chillies, ripped in half and deseeded \n1 bunch of parsley, chopped \n100 g flour \n40ml canola oil \nsalt \nlemon wedges to serve \nbread and butter to serve<\/p>\n
Divide the whitebait into 2 x 100 gram portions. Marinate 1 portion in the olive oil, garlic, chilli and parsley for at least 3 hours.<\/p>\n
Heat a large frying pan on high heat. Coat the unmarinated whitebait in flour, place in a sieve and shake off all the excess flour. Add the canola oil to the hot pan and place the whitebait into the pan. Fry the whitebait until it becomes crispy, about 1 minute. Drain the crispy whitebait on a paper towel and season with salt.<\/p>\n
Wipe out the pan and place it on low heat. Add the marinated whitebait and cook until the whitebait changes from clear to milky white.<\/p>\n
Serve immediately with lemon, and bread and butter.<\/p>\n
