Ingredients
- 250 grams Whitebait
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, salt, and ground black pepper until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 2
Gently fold the whitebait and chopped parsley into the batter, ensuring that the fish is evenly coated.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter mixture into the pan to form small patties, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Step 5
Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spatula to flip them carefully.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, adding additional oil to the pan if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the whitebait patties hot with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
