Take the sieved flour and paprika and place into a mixing bowl with a good pinch of salt and pepper, before mixing together Now add the frozen whitebait to the bowl and fold the flour mix around the fish, until evenly coated. Place the fish into a sieve and lightly dust off the excess flour For frying, place the oil in a large pan/deep fat fryer, making sure that it only goes up to half way full with oil….as once the fish is added, it will bubble alot, to begin with, and you do not want oil all over the stove from overfill. Then turn the gas onto a high heat and wait until the oil has reached a hot temperature (approximately ten minutes) Then carefully put the fish into the deep fat frying basket and place into the oil gently Fry the fish until gold brown and crispy, between 8-10 minutes, take out of the oil and drain quickly on kitchen towel bore adding to the service plate or bowl Just before serving, add the Anchois butter on top of the fish and serve with good bread, such as ciabatta ,or side salad as a starter or fish course
