Apparently you can't buy fresh whitebait any more; not unless you happen to frequent the nations fishing harbours early in the morning. So frozen is the only way to go. As most whitebait are frozen on the boat I don't suppose, once de-frosted, there will be any great difference in flavour. A 450g bag cost just £3.50 at Gabriel Machins in Henley, enough for 4 very generous servings.
Deep fry small batches coated well in ceyenne pepper seasoned flour (dunked in milk and re-floured). Serve with lemon wedges and tartare sauce and match with a crisp New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc such as the Lake Chalice Sauvignon Blanc. (Recipe from Delicious October 2006).

There was a post recently over at delicious:days that I read about deep fried whole fishes. First think I thought was "Whitebait"!
Thanks for reminding a nation about this seemingly dying food.
