An omelette is nice - they flavour it well as the omelette mix is light..
I make a seasoned to taste omelette mix.. pour into a hot greased pan, then sprinkle the washed and paper-towel dried whitebait evenly over the mix.. season to taste and make as usual.. delicious..

I have floured them and fried them in oil like small sardines, then served with lemon wedges and a green salad.

Pretty boring to have them the "only way" - why would you if there are so many other good ways to cook them?

For breakfast, on toast in a parsley sauce, served with lemon wedges.
Only enough parsley sauce to barely coat them, and cook them in the sauce just before serving

If you have a lot and not too costly apart from tme to catch : place in a pudding bowl with a good knob of butter. Put bowl over a pot of hot water and steam till cooked. Fantastic. Had this as a child and never forgot the rich taste.

Next time I'll be sure to post 'jokey comment' at the end of my post

I'd agree with the West coasters on that one. You forgot to mention the teensy smear of mint sauce that they like to put in the sandwich?
Now there's a wee dag.....removing the heads and tails from the whitebait hee hee
