Watch this video to find out how to cook whitebait and master the secret to perfectly crisp and crunchy whitebait.

Ingredients:
700g (1½lb) whitebait
4tbsp plain flour, to dust
Vegetable oil, to fry
Lemon wedges (to serve)

1 Rinse whitebait and pat dry on kitchen paper.

2 Season flour with salt and pepper and dust with seasoned flour.

3 Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 190C (alternatively, use a high sided pan, half-filled with oil. The oil will be hot enough when a cube of bread browns in 20sec).

4 Fry whitebait in small batches, for 3min, until golden, crisp and floating on the surface.

5 Remove and drain briefly on kitchen paper. Season and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
