Ingredients

  1. 300g whitebait, cleaned
  2. ½ cup plain flour
  3. ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  4. ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  5. ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  6. 1 teaspoon salt
  7. 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  8. Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  9. ½ cup aioli
  10. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
  11. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  12. Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine the aioli, chopped coriander, and lemon juice. Set aside for later.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve the crispy whitebait with the aioli, watercress, and lemon wedges.
