Deep-fried Spicy
Whitebait Recipe
Ingredients
-
450g/1 lb whitebait
-
40g/1 1/2 oz plain flour
-
5ml/1 tsp paprika
-
pinch of cayenne pepper
-
12 fresh parsley sprigs
-
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
-
salt and ground black pepper
-
4 lemon wedges, to garnish
Serves 4
Method:
-
If using frozen whitebait, defrost in the bag, then
drain off ant water. Spread the fish on kitchen
paper and pat dry.
-
Place the flour, paprika, cayenne and seasoning in a
large plastic bag. Add the whitebait and shake
gently until all the fish are lightly coated with
the flour. Transfer to a plate.
-
Heat about 5cm/2 in of oil in a saucepan or deep-fry
fryer to 190C,or until a cube of bread dropped into
the oil browns in about 30 seconds.
-
Add the whitebait in batched and deep-fry in the hot
oil for 2-3 minutes, until the coating is lightly
golden and crispy. Remove, drain on kitchen paper
and keep warm in the oven while frying the
remainder.
-
When all the whitebait is cooked, drop the sprigs of
parsley into the hot oil (don't worry if the oil
spits a bit) and fry for a few seconds until crisp.
Drain on kitchen paper. Serve the whitebait
garnished with the deep-fried parsley sprigs and
lemon wedges.
