Juvenile Herring

A tier

Juvenile herring as whitebait are translucent young Clupea harengus fried whole for a sweeter, slightly larger bite than pure sprat whitebait. They still eat bones-and-all when small enough and deliver classic oily-clupeid flavour in miniature. Source from managed fisheries that allow limited juvenile harvest or bycatch use. Fry quickly; serve immediately. A single-species whitebait style for cooks who want herring character.
