Ingredients

300g whitebait, cleaned
½ cup plain flour
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
½ cup aioli
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

In a small bowl, combine the aioli, chopped coriander, and lemon juice. Set aside for later.
In a food processor, combine the plain flour, panko breadcrumbs, and spices with 1 teaspoon of salt, and pulse to mix well. Dip the whitebait in the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan to 190°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is ready). Deep-fry the fish in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Serve the crispy whitebait with the aioli, watercress, and lemon wedges.
