Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 large eggs
200 g NZ Whitebait
1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
2 Tbsp Butter

Steps:

Beat the eggs with a fork in a bowl until light and frothy. Stir the whitebait into the egg mix. Add a good pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix together well.
In a large frying pan add the oil and butter to the pan on a medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble add the egg and whitebait mixture in even tablespoonfuls and cook for one-two minutes, then flip and cook the other side until lightly golden brown.
When cooked transfer to a warmed spare plate. Continue cooking in batches of 5-6 fritters until the mixture is finished.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges - and slices of fresh buttered white bread for the classic traditional Kiwi serving.

WEST COAST WHITEBAIT PATTIES

West Coast Whitebait Patties image

Whitebait is a bit of a delicacy in New Zealand, and whitebait from the West Coast of the South Island is the best. The idea is to have more whitebait than batter, however it you go to a restaurant you will probably find that it's the other way round! West Coasters also serve them with mint sauce which is very tasty. Another thing to do is heat the oven to 50degrees C, and butter 4 slices of white bread. Put these on a plate in the oven (butter side up) and as each whitebait pattie is cooked put them on the bread. Us kids used to fight over the bread at the end as it tastes yummy(strange but true).

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
500 g whitebait
2 tablespoons light vegetable oil (for frying) or 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

Steps:

Beat the eggs in a large bowl, then mix in the milk.
Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Lightly beat through the flour & baking powder to ensure there are no lumps. Add the flour slowly - the mixture should be thick & runny but not too gloopy.
In a colander, rinse the whitebait and pick out any river stones or other debris.
Drain, and mix into the egg mixture until well combined.
Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat, and once heated, add the butter/olive oil.
Drop in dessert-spoonfuls of the whitebait mixture, and cook until the pattie is set (& starts to go golden on the underside). The whitebait will normally have gone white at this stage.
Turn, and cook on the other side until golden.
Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve, in my house they get eaten as fast as they are cooked!
