Tiny, silver-coloured fish that are part of the herring group. Whitebait refers mainly to the Clupeidae fish fry in the UK, the juvenile sprats, more typically herring. To add texture, they are normally deep-fried in a thin coating of flour. Served alongside a squirt of lemon juice, they don’t take any further effort.
Normally, they are sold frozen, meaning whitebait is available all year round. As a young whole fish, whitebait is an ideal source of calcium. Best eaten whole, bones and guts included, whitebait is served as a tasty snack, a starter or a canapé.
Fresh Fish Direct offers sea whitebait. They’re approximately six to nine centimetres long, within this size. At standard temperature, they are washed with clean water and then boiled. Only take the whitebait out until it becomes white and opaque. Then, the whitebait are cooled, drained and frozen. Freeze-drying allows for rehydration, preserves the whitebait’s colour and lustre, and avoids so much nutritious component loss. In the end, the final product will be wrapped.
You eat the whole fish, including the bone and everything, while you consume whitebait. This implies you’re receiving every ounce of nutrient inside your body that the fish got! They are loaded with calcium, which is perfect for your bones, taurine, and potassium, which are also good for the health of your liver, plus many more minerals and vitamins that your body requires for good functioning.
Whitebait is classified as an oily fish. They are high in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, which decrease inflammation and ultimately minimise the risk of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cancer. Whitebait is abundant in RNA that helps in the regeneration of cells, and it can have anti-ageing benefits.
Published research suggests that eating oily fish, such as whitebait can boost cognitive function. This kind of fish will shield you from dementia.
