Whitebait
© Copyright 2010. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.

Whitebait is not an actual species of fish. Rather it is a loosely defined term for a very small fish, no more than 2 inches (5 cm) long, and very skinny, like a match that is white or silvery. These fish are caught en masse with nets. They are too small to debone, and so are cooked and eaten whole.

In Britain, Whitebait will be used to refer to very young herring, sprats, gobies, pipefish and weavers.

In Ireland, the term refers to very young herring, or sometimes sand eels, about 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) long. These have far more of a fishy flavour.

In New Zealand, Whitebait can be any of five closely related speices: inanga, koaro, banded kokopu, shortjaw kokopu and giant kokopu. The most common is inanga. In New Zealand, Whitebait is often made into fritters, with many fish per fritter, with their eyes staring up at you peeking out of the batter.

Whitebait is expensive in New Zealand, $10 to $15 NZD per 100g, 2004 prices.

Whitebait anywhere is not as prolific as it used to be, because catching and eating the fish so young means they aren't around to breed later.

Mock Whitebait Fritters are made with cheddar cheese.
