A bit of a delicacy some might say, others might just screw up their noses. Hate it or love it, these whitebait fritters are so simple and it’s definitely one of those situations where less is more. Whitebait isn’t a particularly strong flavour, so if you don’t mind the sight/texture of these little fish, then I’m sure you will enjoy them.
