OMG - I love them and live in Auckland. But earlier this month we visited my sister in the South Island and she did her usual breakfast of whitebait patties. I believe I have never tasted any better than hers.
But sorry I don't have her recipe. But one thing is for sure - they cook fast so be really careful not to overcook.

Rinse the whitebait...... pat dry.... then flour then individually.... toss into beaten eggs and make patties.....fry gently in butter and oil careful as to not overcookthem as they will be tough....Serve with lemon wedges

sevenge.. best do a search (upper left - anytime) Everytime someone asks, the purists dive in with egg, salt, pepper and whitebait.. mix... cook.. (not allowed to be innovative on this recipe board) :}

yep,1lb whitebait,don't rinse,just drain..tsp fresh squeezed lemon. i/2 cup flour.1/2 tsp salt. 1-2 tsp baking powder(if not useing self raiseing flour)mix all together... Then add whitbait and fold in gently.use a table spoon to lay out patties on a buttered/oiled pan or bbq(is better).temp of plate..same as you would for an omelete

South Island whitebait is much better than North Island whitebait.
