Au contrare . . . or however the heck you spell it. If you do it in the Mediterranean style, the oil will be virgin olive and there isn't much that's better for you than that! Admittedly, if one was so inclined to deep fat fry it in lard too often, that might be a bad idea but olive oil is positively good for you. In fact, latest research indicates that it acts as a pain killer on all those aches and pains you accumulated catching the whitebait.

yep, good old extra virgin and a sprinkling of salt. does that remind you of your soldier days Old Sarge?
I tried to spear some white bait but there was'nt much left of them after the 7mm shaft went through the 3mm diameter fish.
on a more serious note my mum is from New Zealand and they have beautiful whitebait there, they usually make a light batter and make them into fritters with just enough batter to hold the fish together this will of course be fried and have some oil so if your trying to be health concious just eat a couple of these and a big bowl of salad not 8 or 10 frttters and a heap of chips (French Fries)
