the only one I know of is where you simply add them to an already beaten egg . it's such a delicate taste eh!You could may be search it in the keyword and look in "past year" and see how you go (yeah, I love recipes too!)

Whitebait Fritters. 2 egg whites, 1 cup whitebait, 1 heaped teaspoon flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, lemon juice if you have it.1 teaspoon oil, tablespoon butter. Beat whites to a soft peak. Gently fold in flour,salt and whitebait till all mixed. In a frying pan heat oil and butter drop dessertspoonfuls into pan and fry till golden, turn cook other side till all puffed up and cooked. Serve immediatelyout of pan with a drizzle of lemon juice over the top if you want.Enjoy !

I prefer more flour myself. I am not keen on the egg, over taking the the flavour of the whitebait. It is very addictive catching the little blighters, my largest catch to date is, 4.5 kg. More fun than eating them.lol.

Had them for tea last night.I beat 3 egg whites until stiff then the yolks til thick and creamy . Combine the two with salt and pepper and add the whitebait about ½ kg . Drop large tblsp's into hot oil /butter and cook until golden both sides.(only takes a minute or two.) Serve immediately with or without lemon juice and enjoy. ( I never add flour and they puff up well)

I personally prefer more egg white and less yolk - I separate the eggs and just add 1 yolk to 2 whites, milder flavour and you can taste the delicate whitebait flavour much better. I never add anything else, fry in butter and serve - YUMMO!

We were talking about the best way to cook whitebait, at bowls the other day. Just like in here everyone has "the" perfect recipe, when some bright spark said . Well ! the last time "Jamie" came for dinner was, the time he gave us that recipe. I said you dirty name dropper you, I had the F'n cook put his shoes under my. well bowls flew all over the place.
