Fish
Whole
Whole Whitebait is gutted fish cooked on the bone—roast, steam, or fry. Scale and clean the cavity; score thick areas for even heat. Keep whitebait whole 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.
