Pan fried whitebait

No ratings yet
Whitebait is super tasty and really, really easy to cook. Andrea, who does most of our filming, has them as one of her all-time favourite dishes.
You can just douse them in plain flour, but for this recipe, we have added a little spicy paprika and some garlic powder.

  3. Pat your whitebait dr
  4. In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder and paprika.
  5. In batches, toss your whitebait in the flour mix. Shake them so they have just a light coating of the flour.
