Whole

Whole sandeel is the edible form that matters—tiny fish fried complete, bones and all, when small enough. Larger whole fish may be headed for bait or industrial use rather than the table. Rinse, dry thoroughly, flour, and fry in hot oil until crisp. Salt immediately. Serve with lemon and bread.
