Whitebait:
In New Zealand it describes the juvenile forms (around 4–5 centimetres long) of
five species of the fish family Galaxiidae - a family of mostly small freshwater fish in the Southern Hemisphere. The majority of species live in Australia or New Zealand.
In all cases, in any recipe, when you use whitebait - it is all about the whitebait, the star ingredient!!!
There is no greater honour than being served home-made Whitebait Fritters - and the best way to eat them is slapped on top of a thick fresh slice of buttered bread - ohhh... divine finger-kicking food at its best!
