Whitebait Fritters September 8, 2020

A classically delicious way to enjoy NZ’s seasonal delicacy. Check out the original recipe here.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. When cooked transfer to a warmed spare plate. Continue cooking in batches of 5-6 fritters until the mixture is finished.
4. Serve with fresh lemon wedges – and slices of fresh buttered white bread for the classic traditional Kiwi serving.
