Whitebait is a term used for the juvenile forms of several species of fish, including herring, sprat, and smelt. These tiny, silvery fish are typically found in coastal waters and are a delicacy in many parts of the world. In the UK, whitebait is a popular dish, particularly in coastal regions.

To serve whitebait in the UK, the traditional method is to deep fry the fish and serve them as a crispy snack or appetizer. The fish are usually coated in flour or batter before being fried until golden and crispy. Whitebait is often served with a wedge of lemon and a side of tartar sauce or aioli. This simple yet delicious preparation allows the delicate flavor of the fish to shine, while the crispy texture adds an enjoyable contrast.

While deep frying is the most popular way to serve whitebait in the UK, it can also be grilled or pan-fried for a healthier alternative. Some people also enjoy pickling whitebait to add a tangy flavor to the fish.

In addition to its delicious taste, whitebait is also a good source of protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Whether served as a snack, appetizer, or part of a main course, whitebait is a versatile and delicious seafood option that is enjoyed by many in the UK.
