Whitebait fritters
New Zealand · Oceania
- Short description
- This simple fritter keeps the tiny fish visible in a thin egg batter.
- Ingredients
- Whitebait mixed with egg, a little flour, salt, pepper, and butter, often served with lemon or bread.
- Cultural note
- It is associated with seasonal catches and casual home or cafe meals where the fish are the focus.
- Common misconception
- It is not a thick fish cake; the batter is usually light so the small fish remain distinct.
