New Zealand Whitebait Fritters

Simple whitebait and egg fritters, fried in batches until golden. The fish-to-egg balance and brief cooking keep the fish in the foreground.

Whitebait is mixed with egg and fried as small fritters in this straightforward New Zealand preparation. This version follows the flour-free style: dry the fish well, mix gently, and cook the fritters in batches.

Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the mixture

    Drain the whitebait very well and pat it dry. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl; mix in the salt and black pepper, then gently fold in the whitebait.

  2. 02

    Fry the fritters

    Heat the neutral oil in a large pan over medium heat. Spoon in small portions of the mixture to make thin fritters; fry in batches for 3 minutes on each side, without pressing them as you turn them.
