How to Order Fried Whitebaits
- 1). Take into account where you are in the world and whether whitebait are in season. The more in season the fish, the better it will taste.
- 2). Whitebait tends to be an appetizer, so order a few different dishes, including the whitebait.
- 3). Ask the waiter for fried whitebait, topped with parsley and accompanied by aioili (garlic mayonnaise) and a lemon wedge, if it's available.
- 4). Tell the waiter you want the whitebait piping hot and straight from the fryer, the crispier, the better.
