they are only really good done fresh and eaten straight away, but i have done them the last couple of years as well as the roast, what i do is serve them as an early entree.so when everyone is there have a drink and chatting, i cook them up and serve them on a platter with lemon wedges, salt and pepper and small plates.guests have a nibble an hour+ early from the 'main event' always goes down well - away from the actual table.

I am the worlds biggest whitebait fan, but even I shudder at the thought of cold, frozen, pre-cooked whitebait. Why would you do that! By all means, freeze the fresh whitebait.But they only take a few minutes to cook and are much nicer straight from the pan to the plate, not cold. Just add the whitebait to beaten egg, a little salt and pepper, then into the hot pan.They only take a few minutes to cook. Batter is horrible, its what fish and chip shops do to make the whitebait go further and ruins the taste.
