Fish
Fillet
Fillet of Whitebait is the boneless side lifted from the frame—the everyday piece for this tiny whole juvenile fish. It shows tender bone-in morsel; even thickness and pin-bone removal matter. Leave skin on for crisp pan work or remove for delicate poaching. Keep whitebait fillet iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Deep-frying as a crisp whole snack suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame tender bone-in morsel.
